I made this one for my Sister-in-law and gave it to her in June this year.I started it last September and finished it in January. I had been waiting for Elaine to send me some photos down before posting it, as I missed a few blocks. The Material was "satin backed shantung" and because I only had 6 and 1/2 metres I had to substitute duchess satin for the last border as I didn't have enough . Designs are from Sue Box. Colours are Dusty Pink- Oyster pink- deeper dusty pink ( more into burgundy) Avocado Green for the leaves and for the frames and oriels I used a light brown/gold shade.

The Infinity Quilt. Ros, you had a lot of courage tackling that quilt. It looks absolutely gorgeous.Did you use the Sewing Revolution or did you measure the markings with your normal quilter's ruler?
5 comments
I did use the Sewing Revolution AFTER I decoded the instructions. As I use a Brother and it was made for the Janome the distances were wrong for me. I also did them in the 4X4 not the 5x7 that the book was printed as. Once I had instruction on that it wasn't too bad. But at the beginning I was ready to jump off the nearest bridge _ BUT i'm scared of heights. heheh
I have a Janome and was thinking of doing-one day. The Sewing Revolution is awfully expensive. I was going to play with my own measurements and a quilter's ruler.
Use the measurements that are in the book. I think that you could use a quilters ruler , might be harder to do them in the circle though. Much ease with the Sewing Revolution. Good luck . Let's know how you go. Will help you if you get stuck
Can you explain to me what is the "Sewing revolution" ?
Thanks
Thanks
The Sewing Revolution is a ROUND plastic template with 1/2 " markings around it. It is 12 inches across and great for doing designs in circles and also 45 deg 60 deg and 90 deg. It was made by AnnDuncan & Kyn Gold-up-Graham or their Qwb aite www.thesewingrevolution.com.au for more info contact them and they will explain a lot better than I can. Good luck

Beautiful quilt and a lot of work and time is in this quilt

thank you and yes it was a lot of time. But well worth it when you see the stunned look on Elaine's face when I put it on her bed. She thought I was putting her daughter's quilt I'd made for her wedding. Surprise

and can you tell me how big it is thank you

Hi Tuppy I can't quite remember exactly but I think it was around 85 " square. I made the last sashing and border a bit bigger as it had to fit on a Queen size bed.
ok thank for that as the book doesnt tell you

So was this totally on your sewing machine(each block i mean)Then you put it togeather??I to have never heard of the round thing.I am going to go & look .I think the quilt is excellent .You really do nice job on ALL you undertake to do :):)Carolyn
1 comment
Yes Carolyn. I" Quilted as I go" That means I did the centre piece with the 3 layers. Quilted -then added the sashings with the border blocks after quilting . Then I joined them together outside was machine stitched (with right sides together) hand stitched the wadding and lastly hand stitched the backing then stitched in the ditch lastly I did the binding.

Wow! Stunning, Roslyn. Bet it's even more stunning in real life. Pretty sure that'd take me to infinity to do :) And a great ad for the sewing revolution as well. We don't hear of it as much now as we did earlier.
