I bought the remaining CD of designs and started making the center panel. I am so pleased with how it has turned out - I only 16 more panels to make!
Its not too easy to see but some of the filigree panels are burgundy and some black; the little insects are dragonflies, ladybird, snail, butterfly, bee, worm and beetle. 6mm wide ribbon goes over all the seams to make a 'grid' pattern. The ribbon will be the same colour as the sashing.
The design in the mag has burgundy sashing and ribbon but I am not sure what colour I will use. I have been told that a lady made on with dark green damask and it looked beautiful. I will wait until I get a few more panels done and then try out a few different colours.
This is the original design by Rowena Charlton.
Stay tuned for updates and my final colour choice for the ribbon and sashing. By the way if anyone has made this I would love to know your colour choice and how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteHi, are very good friend of mine has lent me her Rowena Charlton Quilt pack so that I can make it. (The beautiful Quilt with flowers and small creatures and bugs on) Only thing is I don't have a list of the thread colours that was used. I've exhausted every option in trying to find out what they are. All I could find out is that Robison and Anton thread was used. Do you have a list of the colours used?
