Which Doctor?

Posted on | August 19, 2013 | 14 Comments

In amongst the busyness of having family here, I have completed one quilt. There was a deadline so I had to push  to make it but the last stitches went into the binding the night before it was due.  This one was another birthday gift for a Dr Who fan.

The Dr Who fabrics are all from Spoonflower.

The pattern I have used is Perfect Ten.

I had this one professionally quilted.

Perfect for a 50th birthday.

And the Dr Who 50th anniversary, too.

I kept one fabric aside for the borders. I think I like this one with the Police Boxes the best.

I then found a great circle fabric in the right colours to use as the backing.

Very pleased with the end result. I now get a break from birthday sewing for quite a while.

I have plenty of UFOs to return to now.

    OMG how cool is that! I’ve never seen Dr Who fabric before, my favourite is the Daleks. Now all I can hear in my mind is “I am a Dalek – Exterminate!”

    I LOVE this quilt! The colors and pattern ate beautiful. Amazed you got it done with all that is happening at your place.

  • Yay! It turned out magnificently! And it is always good to get a deadline met. I don’t know why, but I always seem to wait longer than I should then have to rush like crazy to finish.
