TECHNICAL TIP

To st o p t he q u i lt t o p

becoming too unwieldy

when sewing together

with the papers still in

place, take them out from

the sewn rows as you go,

but leave them along the

seams that still need

Notes

QRST = right sides together.

Q This ‘scrappy’ looking quilt benefits

from as much fabric variety as

possible. Jo used prints from

Liberty’s craft cotton ranges and

designs from The Quilters’ Guild

of the British Isle fabrics, alongside

a wide selection of vintage style

fabrics from her stash.
