I’m still very much a novice when it comes to quilting, but
when I saw this little quilt, I knew I had to give it a go.
The ‘High Tea’
Fusion Quilt, which
is designed by Tiffany Behmer, is a
coming together of pretty quilted squares
that are joined together with crochet.
The first step was cut 72 fabric squares and 36 squares of
batting, sew them together, turn the right way out and finish off with a row of
machine stitching ¼” all the way around each one.
Next blanket stitch
evenly around the outside of each one.
Once that is done, it’s just a case of crocheting around
them all and stitching the squares together and finishing with a border around the
outside.
Happy Crafting!
Whatever your passion
may be

I'm finishing up the High Tea Crochet Fusion Quilt now. Your's is beautiful. I've really enjoyed working on this project, I'm a long time crocheter but a newbie "sewer" lol. What I can't find anywhere are washing instructions for this blanket. Mine will be gifted to my niece for her new baby and I'm sure at some point a washing is going to be required. Do you have any advice?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments Trecia. Like you I'm quite new to quilting/sewing too, so it was a big learning curve. I made mine as Christmas pressie and when it was finished I just gave it a cool wash in the machine and a light press when it was dry and it was fine.
