I never made a quilt before but always fancied 'having a go' and having watched quite a few Youtube videos, I thought I could do it.
Why, oh why did I decide to make a king size quilt for my first ever project. I took almost a year to complete, I am in the habit of starting many projects in haste and never quite getting around to finishing them. I rarely follow the rules, and just make it up as I go along.

| Sun motif |
Anyway, I started this quilt with a sun motif and then bought the fabrics to surround it. The sun is one of the Tonga Batiks from Timeless Treasures and then fused to a black background. I then made up lots of pin wheel blocks (without a clue how many I should make) using up the colourful fabrics I had collected. I suppose the main reason it all took so long is that I got a bit stuck with the layout and couldn't work out how to get the effect I wanted. Well, it's done, and although I know it's far from perfect, I really love the bright colours and the sense of relief that it is finished feels good too. :-)
