When Mr Stone House Quilter and I went to the big quilt festival in Chicago in 2007, we picked up quite a few different bits of African fabric. I also had some ordinary quilt fabric with African inspired designs which fitted in with it. When my sister Rose saw them she really liked them so I decided to make her a wall quilt for Christmas last year. It is a sort of design-as-you-go quilt. You know the kind - if a piece of fabric is too short, sew something else on the end of it; if a piece of fabric is too long, chop a bit off. Great fun! I pieced all sorts of wonky blocks into it as well as odd shaped strips of varying lengths and widths. The quilting was mostly just a freehand spiral.
Sorry about the blurry photos...
