My entry for the Quilt Festival...
...is my variation on Oh Fransson`s paintbox quilt. I made it for my son who is 6 and hope it will last him for many, many years!
The back is made from an old sheet and a bit of piecing to make it exciting and the binding is made from strips of the leftover fabric.
It definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone - using batiks and the black - but I love the finished product and my son loves it too!
Thanks to Amy for once again organizing! Lots of beautiful work to enjoy and be inspired by!
