On this blog the members of Sky-is-the-Limit group show the results of the challenge quilts they make. We started with each quarter a new theme, but have changed this to a monthly theme. Knowing that life can interfere with good intentions it is not compulsary to make a quilt each month, but at least 4 quilts per year should be doable. Every quilt measures 12"x12".

From Russia with Love
From Russia with Love
My first Bond movie at the cinema and Sean Connery was the answer to every girl's dream! His escapades on the screen were so thrilling in 1964 and the stunts and set pieces sent a shiver up the spine.
This time I have made the piece from commercial fabrics and the black swirls have been blanket stitched for security with the picture of James himself having been added at the end with Steam-a-seam, always guaranteed to stick small pieces of fabric in place!

Wonderful! I love the colours you have used here.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic. The fiddly bits always need sticking thoroughly. The background to why it's your favourite film is interesting too.
