Weaver Fever quilt

Weaver Fever quilt with Be Mine quilt pattern

My Farmer's Wife quilt has been put on the back-burner for the time being whilst I ruminate how I want to put it together.  Also, over the past few years I have been working towards my City and Guilds Patchwork qualification with various assessments to complete.  I haven't shared any of them online as I was waiting for our 'final exhibition' which is due at the end of August - so don't hold your breath.  Luckily, the lockdown gave me the time I needed to finish all the work off and now I am free to sew what I like!

First on my list was this Weaver Fever quilt which I started at a workshop with Judi Mendelssohn last summer.  My pink and green  quilt colour choice was guided by some amazing flamingo plush fleece which I picked up at the Fabric Guild in Leicester.  I have made several fleece quilts before and I have a healthy stash of it, mainly picked up when I am in fabric shops in France.  The pink and green fabric was purchased just over a year a go from Hannah's Room and Kaleidoscope Quilts at the Malvern Quilt Show in 2019.  There is also a debate whether to put anything in the middle of a fleece quilt. I like to put something, varying from a brushed cotton sheet to normal wadding.  On this occasion I have put 100% Hobbs Polydown.  I hope to use it in our campervan, so I want it to be warm and cosy.  It is certainly that.

I quilted it on my APQS longarm machine using a pretty pattern called Be Mine, which if I am honest, I bought especially for this quilt.Really looking forward to using this quilt.
