It would have been a miracle if anyone had guessed what the block on my last post (and above) was for! It’s actually the first block to make up my Stephen Fry pixel quilt I plan to finish for the Quilt and Stitch Village show in April (and then possibly Festival of Quilts as well if I haven’t [...]

Here’s a little tutorial on how I put together my picture quilts. I decided to apply the same principle to my birds and berries quilt but just a couple of small motifs. This technique can be used for large or small scale stuff! I can’t show you this in full yet though- I’m 18″ of [...]
