orange

As in the previous round I had less time than I needed to make it. But I experimented again too and I am happy with the result. If I had managed to sent earlier it would be the perfect swap so far.

I made another entirely handcrafted quilt. I used just needle and thread. No rotary cutting and no scissors either. I used the little thread cutter instead for some tiny cuts… I love the vintage feel it gives. And the fact I used some of my favorite colours and favorite combinations. My sense of colour is a little bit exotic but it seems this quilt colours got some approval on the Flickr group.

Do you like red and fuchsia or hot pink together? I do. My mother used to think its too crazy to be stylish. It was about 2 days before we watched together a documentary for Lady Diana visiting Paris and wearing a red-hot pink suit. Same feel is orange and pink. I like exploring around the limits of good taste and shouting random colours.

I also received the quilt made for me. This is the other great thing about this magical swap. I opened the big box and hang the quilt. It is in my kitchen – a bright beauty to have a look at in the dark busy early mornings of a new first grade pupil’s mom… I have not opened the adorably packed little treasures that arrived with the quilt. I will go and see them now. I promise I will make pictures and show you all beauties soon! I just need some good light. It is a gloomy autumn afternoon now. This quilt and the package that came along deserve a post of their own here!
