Just before Christmas we bought a new lounge suite.
We put a couple of quilts over the backs of the couches and I decided I would make some new ones.
Having decided to use my Vintage Modern
layer cake, I decided on a simple brick pattern
for the three seater couch.
For the two seater, I used my Vintage Modern charm pack.
I just love the simplicity of squares (and rectangles).
Then, using my Bonnie and Camille's Designer Select
Fat Quarter Bundle that I received for Christmas a
couple of years ago, I pieced the backings.
We will now have two reversible quilts for the lounge.
Two quilt tops and two pieced backings
in one week. That's a record for me!
My Bonnie and Camille stash has now been reduced
by quite a bit. Just a few smaller and scrappy pieces
left to play with. Although I do still have my bundle
of Scrumptious that I just keep admiring!
Now to head off to my favourite quilter to get her
to work her magic with these two!

What a great way to use your precious B&C fabrics without cutting into tiny pieces.
