52er Quilt - Woad and Linen

This 52er quilt has a French theme.

I have been collecting bits and pieces in these blues from Vintage Markets, 

etc for several years and I am really enjoying putting 

them on these little 5" (finished) blocks.

These cute little flowers were 'fussy' cut from a fabric I have in the shop.

Then fused in place and embroidered over

A piece of tatting that I collected at some stage and have appliqued on.

A piece of embroidery from an old linen tray cover.

It was quite marked in places but for this project I could easily cut around those bits.

I so love re-purposing these old pieces.

This fabric was part of my Taupe Woven range.

I took at fat quarter of it to an indigo dyeing workshop I did and turned it from 

cream to blue. The grid pattern was part of the original weave.

Have fun creating. I will be back in a month with more.
