Lockdown quilt-a-long-it’ll be fun!
Can’t remember who said
that, but it might have been me. I got the job of head designer, mainly because
I had EQ8 and had produced lots of pictures of blocks and quilts-unfortunately
I hadn’t actually made any of these out of fabric but how hard could that be?
Lots of people signed up.
I designed lots of
lovely blocks, many of which were totally impossible to make, but eventually I
came up with this-called Together Alone
The
idea was to send out two or three blocks a week for 10 weeks. I would write the
patterns and sizes. Because my wrist wasn’t working I then sent this to
Heather, who tested the blocks and we then sent them out, starting on the 1st
of April. Simple! Hmmm….
Several
things came to light early on-
My
woeful arithmetic/maths abilities had not improved with age

Blocks
went back and forward between us for adjustment. Thankfully, because of
lockdown she couldn’t throw things at me. There may have been one week where I
managed to get them right. But (possibly because of boredom setting in) people
persevered with the curves, FPP and even partial seams and produced lots of
stunning versions of the blocks and eventually beautiful quilts
