Beginners patchwork couse - Tikki London

I spent a great day (4hrs) at Tikki London, learning how to rotary cut, strip piece and machine piece and came away with a completed 16 square block.
It then took me only another 2 evenings to finish off my quilt top!


The course requirements were 5 fat quarters & a metre of background fabric... I had brought along with me some seaside themed fat quarters that I bought on ebay for 99p (plus postage) Together they clashed badly but the lovely shop owner helped me to chose the deckchair stripe, red & yellow dots and blue batik which draws all the colours together. (and I ended up with 6 fabrics instead of 5) I am really pleased with the final result.

I quilted my first quilt "In the ditch" but I am debating whether to quilt this one myself or wait till the next machine quilting class (at either Tikki or Creative quilting)

This one is for The Little Fella (my 1 yr old) I already have some car theme fat quarters to make one for The Little Man (2.9 months)
