Pattern Repeat!

Another quilt in the making---to be gifted, once the binding is sewn on!
 
 I repeated a pattern I have used prior, this quilt pictured below is in constant use in our house.
MoMo wonderland fabric range
 
Pattern is Wild thing by Thimble Blossoms
 
I admire Vanessa's new colour range, so I quickly bought two charm packs from Kate.
Added in was some homespun in the Sand colourway.
 
 
Vivid and fresh colours
 
 The pattern I used is a favourite --Wild Things by Camille, quick to prepare, and the blocks sew up quite speedily using the chain piecing method.


 
 


 
 
 
 

I was too impatient too wait for yardage of Simply Colour-- to utilise for the borders to arrive via post, so I enlisted a friend to help choose the fabric for the two borders- at our local Spotlight.
 
Backing fabric, border and binding fabric
 
Borders added and passed onto Mrs WB for some of her precise quilting.
 
 
lovely quilting - yet again
 
 

Binding sewn on, in the process of completing the hand sewing.

I am pleased with the vibrant colours in this quilt, loving the pops of hot pink --I did not want it to appear too feminine when completed;  I was not disappointed at all.
Hoping that this will cheer up and cheer on the sports mad family- who will be the recipient of this quilt.  A splash of colour providing warmth at the cool mornings and afternoons of winter sport.
