My version of a favourite quilt

OK - here we go!  This is my much smaller version of Jen's wonderful spotty quilt featured in my second last post. It may seem now that I was being rather coy by referring to it but not showing it, but I really didn't mean to be!


Because this quilt is so much smaller (33inches square) I didn't try to adapt the quilting patterns of the original but to do my own design. This is a closeup of the central area -


Quilts come together in different ways and this was an easy one. It just flew together, mainly I think, because it is quite an organised design.

I didn't have any suitable spotty fabrics so I used a geometrically printed rose Laura Ashley dress fabric as the focus fabric.  The majority of the other fabrics came to me from a friend who was getting rid of her stash.  I chose a selection and used them in this quilt.  My friend was thrilled to recognise some left over from her dressmaking projects!
