Soul Blossoms & Stained Fassett Glass

Finally, I took some pictures of this quilt, about time, it has been finished for a while now. I will have to take some outdoor pictures too to show the colours in a more realistic lighting. These pictures were taken indoors on the iPhone and are not very good unfortunately.

This is another Quilt-as-you-go-Quilt and reversible too of course, like all my quilts. It is a bed quilt but will have to measure it to tell you how big it is exactly.

I had a pile of Soul Blossoms strips that I had to cut off a layer cake to fit it into my fabric storage drawers and I decided to make something fairly simple with them.

I quilted the blocks in a spiral pattern and then attached them using thin strips of sashing. I think I will use the QAYG method for all my quilts from now on. I nearly broke my back again the other day basting the newest project I am working on and was cursing all the way through, very entertaining for my other half, mind you. He loves watching me crawl around the floor. I just wish I could teach him to baste so I won't have to do it anymore and throw my back out in the process.

Quilt sculpture over a chair (actually there is a massage chair underneath that, I can really recommend that for strained quilters backs)

The back using Kaffe Fassett charms and Kona Snow for the sashing



I used red thread for the quilting on the back


I hope you like it.

PS: I need some advice for my ETSY shop. How would you send a quilt like this in the post? Any idea how much the postage costs if it is sent abroad from the UK? With insurance and tracking or something like it? I really need to sort out the shipping before I can list anything on Etsy.
