Olympic Quilters ?!

Over at Twisted Sketches

it was the turn of my team

to work with this weeks

sketch & twist - Flower.

I've had these photos since the summer

but till now I've not

had the right Lo in mind.

Olympic Quilters.

My friend Pam at the Nuneaton crop

suggested we get involved with a scheme

to make quilts for all the countries

taking part in the London 2012 Games.

Now please remember we are all scrapbookers

not quilters but

we were up for the challenge.

We all made squares for the quilt

but Pam, Rach & Sharon

did the bulk of the work.

It looks amazing

if I do say myself :)

Our quilt is now with the organisers

awaiting a huge display in the spring.

I can't wait to find out who is getting our quilt.

I pieced the background of

basic grey papers together then

zigzagged them down.

Felt flowers made using

descending circles with button centres.

Alpha- Thickers.

Being involved with this project has

made me realise that I would love to

have a go at quilting agin,

maybe next year.
