Purple Passion


A couple of finishes from during the Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown that began here in NZ 
on the 26th March...

Mum wanted a pillow to sit on her bed (replacing one I'd made for her about 15 years ago, and to match the new quilt I gave her for xmas).


I wanted to use some leftovers from her quilt and decided to try out a quilt-as-you-go technique. I added some teal from my stash to brighten it up and give the pillow a point of difference from the quilt. I used Cori's tutorial to help me.


Also using leftovers from the Gypsy quilt, I had earlier in the year made a couple of bassinet quilt tops that needed finished and lockdown was a good chance to do it!


#1: 'The Days Go By' 
(these quilt names are inspired by Stevie Nicks' lyrics: 
'Edge of Seventeen', which I love listening to)






#2: 'Sings a Song'
