Last Wednesday at our fortnightly meeting of Liverbirds our wonderful Janet revealed this years quilt design. I feel like it has been a life time since I made a quilt so I jumped at the chance to buy the pattern. When I got home I looked at the fabric requirements and decided that this quilt really needed to be made completely from my stash. One of Janet's top tips is that you start with a feature fabric and use this fabric as you colour wheel. I myself find this most helpful when selecting fabrics for any new project. I must admit I did struggle finding a feature fabric from my stash as I would normally buy this particular fabric new and then raid my stash to add to it. After much searching I settled on a beige fabric that has tiny tulips on it in red, blue, yellow and green. The picture is of all the fabrics I have chosen for the new quilt.
