Caswell Quilt

'Caswell Quilt' made by Lynda Johnson, designed by Corliss Searcy, quilted by Frances Meredith Sometimes a quilt walks in the door and you don't want it to leave. This was the case with Lynda's amazing version of the Caswell quilt. Lynda has a great eye for colour and uses fussy cutting to its best advantage. She has put her own spin on it with a lovely applique border and by just doing a selection of the blocks. It's a great size. 'Caswell Quilt' made by Lynda Johnson, designed by Corliss…

Can you believe it's almost the end of June already? Is it just me, or is time going faster and faster? Seriously, things need to just slow down a little ... This has been a big month for me. First of all, I finally finished quilting on my Caswell quilt! If I've done a lot of marking on a quilt, I always like to immerse it completely by washing it in the washing machine after it's done - this way all the blue washout marker is removed, and with hopefully no chance of it returning.

It has been a while between posts so there is a lot to share.....here is the first instalment!

Caswell Quilt
