I have to admit that I have not connected with my sewing machine as much as I would like to for the last few months. But I too have gone back to my patchwork. This scrap quilt (started back in February) and also my first attempt at patchwork/quilting , therefore having sentimental value for me, is put together but not yet quilted . I may just simply tie the quilt down so that I can move on to the next unfinished project. I used one piece of soft cotton flannel for the middle section and it is very warm.
The back really has nothing to do with the front except that the pink fabric came from Fátima´s mother in Real, Mangualde, the same place from where the wool scraps came from and so there is a connection. The portuguese chita called "campestre" is one of my favorite fabrics. I am just going to enjoy it now.

Oh Mary!! How wonderful to make a patchwork!!!! (I can feel it in my whole body the joy of making one) I don´t consider myself a sewing person but I did a big one once, of fabrics that each one had a story behind it and SURPRIZED my mother with it. That was one of the most fun things I´ve ever done puting that together. Don´t EVER stop doing your beautiful dolls, rodhilas, patchworks...!!!
It looks soooo beautiful.
obrigado Gisela and Olga!
Olga...would love to see a picture, yes??
