four cornered firecracker



What a perfect day for a quilt shoot!
This is my english paper pieced firecracker quilt top.
As its a heavy doodeee piece I was worried the quilting may be tough.
But no worries, this little sample was easy enough.
I have found the perfect backing
from my stash (of course)
Its a vintage sheet
not one of those soft over washed ones
but quite a heavy draped one....
love it when a plan comes together
especially without leaving the house!

The wadding is 80/20 cotton blend which I get from the cotton patch.
And the animation was made at gifmaker.me

  8. That is super cool. How did you do that??? IG video? And not only is it super cool the quilt top is of course absolutely stunning. My daughter would kill for it as she wants everything in a her room in blue, red and white - british. She wants phone boot posters, the Union Jack flag and red busses on her walls. And I am scratching my head wondering - why? You are half American, not British. A US flag would be more understandable. But naaaahhh, British You Tuber fan crush it is (I think)... which explains the theme wanted for her room.
