Look what dropped through my letter box this morning…..millefiori quilts!
This one had totally passed me by until I saw an amazingly beautiful completed quilt which planted a little seed in my mind that has been growing and growing.
‘Should I give it a go I asked myself?’
‘Yes, you should.’ was the answer!!
Might take me a while to get all the stuff together, but can’t wait to start pulling fabrics.
I also managed to finish the meditation cushion that I’ve been making for my friend.
I used these instructions, which I adapted to make it a little prettier and stronger as it would be slightly disruptive if it popped during her teaching!!
I ordered a bag of buckwheat to stuff it with and it was way bigger than expected so will be making more of these..one for myself next I think.
Would like to try and put a zip in next time maybe to allow for topping up, plus a handle.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday.
Happy New Year Amy! And wow you certainly do like to set yourself a challenge…that quilt is gorgeous and I know you will make an equally beautiful one! Love the meditation cushion too. Your friend is very lucky 🙂
That floor pillow is beautiful. How large is it?

Millefiori Quilts?! Good luck! Every quilt I’ve seen is gorgeous. x
The meditation cushion is beautiful and the millefiori quilt is beyond amazing! I am very tempted to invest in that book 🙂

You really are not daunted by any challenge, are you? Fabby work as always. Will watch with interest …
intersting to read that you stuff with buckwheat… not sure if this is therapeutic or something new.. 😉
