On another thread, I mentioned that I have recently got into patchwork, and thought I would share somethings I have made. The first three photos are of cushion covers that I made with 2.5" squares (ended up as 2" when stitched). The photo of the two appeared on my blog - you can find it by clicking here. I used one of the cushion covers as my DT inspiration for the first challenge I have ever set!! They have all become presents for my friends!!

This photo is of a quilt I made with a Y3 class for their teacher who had been off long term sick. Each child designed a square (they ended up approx 16cm when stitched), transferred the design onto white cotton fabric and painted it with textile paints. The then pinned and tacked their square to one of the coloured squares (more as a way of getting them to do sewing than from necessity). I then assembled the lot with wadding in between. I was really pleased with the results!!

I'm hoping to become a bit more adventurous with the patterns - but it's a start!!
