This is my first block of the CQJP2012 challenge. I had planned another project, changed my mind and decided to make a CQ fan quilt and use silk ties and plain silk fabric for most of the blocks. To save the silk from distorting I used the knitted interfacing which I found in our own Fabricland for $5 a metre. I had a few goes at piecing the fan part, and finally used paper piecing to keep it even. |
Looking good Diane, the fan is a great idea, I'm doing fans for my Christmas tree skirt.
ReplyDeleteThe border looks very elegant, thank heavens for those reference books.
