A-maze-ing patchwork blocks

This is a very time consuming quilt design, we will set you on your way with all the information to finish your for homework depending how big you want to make your quilt. This is a great summery pattern ideal for a picnic blanket, summer beach throw to keep you cozy when it gets cooler in the evening. 

We will use ours on our family adventures in our bell tent, we opted for the 100% wool wadding for that extra special feeling Of comfort and warmth.

 

Made with jelly rolls, note you will need 2 the same or similar to make the full size quilt.

Is it a Quilt - No! is it a Pillow - No! Its a Quillo

A Quilt that Folds in to itself to make a pillow....

 

Well the baby is getting older now.  He is 10 weeks old! Can't beleive where the time has gone.  The sunny weather set my mind racing.  We got a tent for Christmas and are planning our 1st adventure as a family.  As you can imagine we have lots to pack even to see my parents in Lancashire nevermind camping!

 

I will of course be packing my Quillo.  Quillo/Quillow is a quilt and a pillow in one and what is more exciting is that you can make your own here in our classes.  Just imagine where you will use yours....... At home? In the garden? At the park? By the river/lake? In the tent? In the caravan? Or simply on your bed incase the summer nights get a bit cold.

 

So what is it?  Well it's a quit that neatly folds up into a pillow and I love it because the pouch keeps my toes toasty warm. You could quilt as little or as much as you like and add a strap too.  Come a long and have a go.....

 

Happy Quillowing.....!
