This is my first actual quilt - I have added patchwork motifs to throws, done cushions, bags and pillows for a window seat, but this is a first. For wadding I used a fleece blanket - easier to use than wadding and cheap too! The only problem is I made it a year ago and having entered it into a local agricultural show had to make myself finish it by binding the edges today - and the pins holding it in place have left rust spots. Going to try lemon juice and sunlight tomorrow to get rid of them.

Cushion cover

Made this for fun last night while watching tv. Do you think it's fit to enter in the local show?

Entered 3 'other materials' - going to put in the washing line/ beach finds one, the fruit juice carton one and ...

Fantastic JD Very Happy

I love the patchwork quilt. I don't know how you managed to complete it. I would have made a couple of squares then it would have ended up at the bottom of a cupboard. Rolling Eyes

Take care you don't bleach the fabric when you try and get rid of the rust stains. Could you embroider french knots over the marks?
