A Simple Strippy Quilt

When you have a lovely print, sometimes you don't want to chop it into pieces that are too small for you to be able to enjoy it.

That was the case with this fun dinosaur print!

I used a very simple quilt pattern, using various depths of width of the fabric, which I've used in the past.

Many thanks to MaryQuilts for this pattern.

So, overall this is roughly 42" x 60" - which is perfect as a baby quilt or lap quilt.

Unusually for me I've backed the quilt with the same print.  Isn't it great?

I confess that if I'd been in a bricks and mortar shop rather than buying on line, the orange might have been a little more muted, and closer to the one in the print, but it still makes a jolly quilt!
 

Part Eight

 Birds 64 - 72, which include three puffins, to show the days I spent on Alderney, hoping to see one in real life for the first time ever!

I'm pleased to say, that thanks to a boat trip with Alderney Wildlife Trust (thank you, Roland!), I was lucky enough to see several dozen puffins.  Mostly swimming in a raft in the sea off the island, but just a couple gave us a fly past, which was brilliant!

Now hoping to go to Skomer next year and see even more!

Part Seven

 Over half way through my #the100dayproject for this year!

I indulged myself with a couple of penguins - one of my favourite birds!
