This is a simple quilt, made using the Disappearing Nine Patch design (the link takes you to a basic tutorial on creating this design).
Materials:
2 Moda Sophie Charm Packs (or 81 x 5" squares),
30cm of pale cream fabric for the framing border,
1m of brown spots for the main border and binding,
1.5m of wadding
1.5m of red gingham for the backing.
These materials make a finished quilt that is approx. 125cm square. This is a reasonable size to machine-quilt without needing a special long-arm quilting machine. Jen quilted hers using the shadow technique, with lines around each of the blocks in the centre panel. She quilted the border more densely, with parallel lines every cm or so. The finished quilt is already in much demand in her sitting room!

Delighted to have come across your blog, love that quilt! I love so many crafts but have never tried quilting, must put it on my ever growing to do list! Catherine x
Thank you Bumpkin Bears! It's a really straight-forward design, so go for it! :-) Quilting is ever so satisfying and doesn't have to be at all complicated (it can be if you want it to be!).
