Fandom Quilt

The idea for a fandom quilt has been floating around my head for a while now, layouts and themes have changed multiple time (one of the reasons I haven't started it) but I think i'm finally ready to start it!!
What I'm planning is to have everything I love be represented - Books, TV shows, films, music everything. I'm going to have the blocks different sizes to keep things interesting visually (that's the plan anyway) 

kinda like this (but not with the sizes that are written)

For the last few days I've been trolling the internet for inspiration (because I'm obliviously not the first person to think about a Fandom Quilt) and OMG there are some wicked crazy ones out there that far exceed my skill or commitment level, (seriously google them).

So for now I'm going to find pictures etc and hopefully start creating...

So I'm not a good blogger...

So not posting anything for 8 months probably mean's I suck - I can't even defend myself that I was kidnapped by aliens. What actually happened was Netflicks.

I have been doing stuff! Here's the proof

Third Baby Quilt

So I've already said where this pattern is from, the only thing i did differently is I added the elephants. 

When I had it laid out on my floor the corner looked really bare, so I just appliquéd some elephants on and now I think its perfect.

I used a panel for the animals (obviously, I am not even 2% skilled enough to make those) and used blocks of prints in-between.

The reason its got those coloured corners is because I screwed the binding up and there was no way I was gonna do it again!

I kinda like it though, so it was a happy accident.

I quilted it differently than I usually do, no meandering for this quilt! I went with thin lines (I know, really not difficult)

Perpendicular Ovals

Wedding Quilt 2015

This was a monster and there was no way to get a picture of it laid out so here is it folded instead! I'm actually really annoyed with myself because I didn't get a picture of the back (or maybe I did and then deleted it because I'm a moron)

Random Pillow

Side 1 was string pieced (not with paper, because I really hate that method. I just sewed scrap strips together and cut them into squares).

Side 2 is a Hazel Hedgehog (pattern by Elizabeth Hartman)

WIP: Hexi duvet cover

I'm using a mix of blue/green solids, with a few prints thrown in for luck (who can resist a print?).
This one is still on going, I'm going back to my roots and English Paper Peicing it - needless to say its taking forever.

Abandoned Projects 

I'm pretty far behind the Economy Block bandwagon, because they didn't really appeal to me but I saw a picture on instagram that looked something like this >> and decided to give them a bash.
Not really thrilled with it enough to continue, maybe it'll make a nice back for something further down the line

Instagram strikes again as inspiration.
I finished this and then didn't know what to do with it, so it sits in a draw with the one above.
Which i admit is a shame because I really like some of the elements on this, like the different coloured flying geese, triangles and the hexis (which I EPPed).








Almost up to date the next post is the real reason I logged on...
