Rouenneries Quilt

Remember this peek from a few posts back. It was the centre of the quilt I started at the Kerry Swain workshop using a Rouenneries fat quarter pack. 


Kerry's quilt had a Georgetown Circle block at the centre but I had a whole lot of trouble getting it right! Actually quite a few swear words were uttered! It looked dreadful and uneven and I knew I'd never be happy with it so in the end I decided to take the easy option and just make another 25 x 25 block.




Now it looks like a Trip Around the World quilt which is fine by me. Actually I LOVE it.

Still deciding what to do for borders .... hoping I will find some yardage on sale soon!


Only 2 more days until I celebrate 2 years of blogging. Where did that time go! Although I'd rather be sewing, today I'm cleaning out the spare room! Better get back to it.

  1. I love it too! I have a jelly roll and two charm packs and can't decide how to make my quilt. My best friend made a lovely top using a braid pattern which looks great, but I can't copy. I'm sure you'll find some yardage soon to make the borders. I'm also trying to clean out my office before I do some stitching. Have fun.
