This quilt is called "battery warning" because something must have been going flat at the time. I'm not sure what, but it was probably a garden tool ... although it could have been the ride-on mower. We just got it back from the auto-electrician today and it needed something electrical done. Just in the nick of time too - the grass is looking very shaggy.
This was started at a Saturday quilters meeting - the Tuesdays we just drop in and sew whatever we are working on but Saturdays one of the group will run a lesson on something they do or have seen. So this was about making hexagons by folding circles, not over papers or using a running stitch.
It was great fun but it requires a certain precision in folding and stitching, which I do not have! So I couldn't really put them together in any normal way so I just sewed them onto a background square and used them in the middle of a medallion quilt.
This was glue basted again, which is still awesome! The quilting is just a squiggle because I don't love the colours enough to do anything time-consuming, but it turned out fine.
You're making me very grumpy. That's really nice! I'm still working on the one I started in April or something.
