Been Playing Again

I've often looked at Tessellation quilts and wondered at the way they go together and how difficult it would be, so over the weekend I decided to have a try and see if I could work it out from a photo - Voila!






Another little quilt just under 12" x 16" and in need of a good press. (it does lie flat in real life - honest!) It took me a little while to work out the angles etc but it went together OK in the end.

I must say this about quilting, tackling  projects like this certainly keeps the old brain ticking over, and it looks like Lucy Doll has another quilt in the pipeline !

I once made a quilt like this, and loved it. I made mine by sewing rows, not blocks, then I made some placemats by making a template myself, but now there's a lovely sturdy plastic template-thingy called the L'il Twister, which I bought and am about to make a baby quilt using it with charm squares.

I must admit, I'm facinated by these quilts too. One day......

Bravo pour cette tesselation, j'adore trouver ce genre de motif !
