Wild Thyme Quilt

Wild Thyme Quilt

I made this quilt using a tutorial by Allison on her Cluck. Cluck. Sew. website, and I used Carolyn Gavin’s ‘Wild Thyme‘ fabrics.

48 squares cut
48 circles cut and ready to be sewn onto the squares
don't they look pretty!
mixed up piles ready to be sewn together to form new blocks

Hand-quilted "snail shells" in all the circles, and diamonds in between
I used 4 different coloured Perle 8 cottons for the "snails"
