This month in the IAQ quilt group we are having a little swap. And of course, since I am the one hosting I get to have a head start and work on something totally fun using the selvage from my own stash. (can't wait for the swap and new ones arrive as well!)
This is the ENGLISH VERSION of the pattern. The pattern includes specifications for two different quilt sizes. The quilt background can. be constructed in two different ways (single fabric or multicolor background). The pattern also contains detailed instructions for the construction of the stars and the construction of the complete quilt top. Coloring sheets for both quilt sizes and background options help you with the planning step. The pattern is great for using up fabric scraps - even very small ones!

My love absolutely loves Flamingos, and therefor of course he had to have his own Flamingo Quilt! So before his birthday this summer I went to quilt camp and I made him my to date by far most difficult quilt! I even had to bring in my mother for help with the satin stitch for the applique! Thank you mom! <3 (for some reason all images are very badly compressed by blogger, please click them to see the proper photo) But it was totally worth it, he was so happy when he got it! =D He turned 36, so it was exactly 36 different hues of pink and red used. I started out by making and taking my 5" squares and adding vliesofix to them. I then drew out the bird on the fabric and started placing my cut triangles, let me tell you, fitting and placing these triangles took me 6 days of work from sunup to sundown at quilt camp! And sun doesn't set in these parts of Sweden until 23 at night. ^^ I kept adding and adding triangles until I dreamed of them =) I used wash away glue to hold them in place while I was trying out colors, before ironing down the vliesofix. I had no idea getting the triangles to fit perfectly would be so time consuming, if I had, I might have rethought the idea as I only had 2 weeks to finish this baby. Here she's really starting to take shape =) Had to redesign my original sketch for her face as the triangles just got too small! The disaster struck! The darn iron decided to shoot out a gush of rust coloured goo all over her feet! I cried a little and then I washed and washed and manage to get most of it out. Here's the drying photo but you can still see the stains! However, luckily a little change of pose for her leg solved the issue and the stains where hidden away. I freemotion quilted it all on my mothers machine, calm waves for the water and clouds for the sky, came out really nice once we'd sorted out the issues with the FMQ foot and settings on the machine. It's such a pretty quilt and I'm so proud of it! I even hand stitched the binding (which we all know in my eyes is just a killer), that's how much I love him and the quilt ;) The back is of course also Flamingos =) Happy recipient! =) Her pretty head finished. There are even little circles around her foot where she's standing =) If you're looking for the Bring the Basics Bag pattern GIVEAWAY, it's just one post down, here =)

The pattern comes with two sleeve options, one with pleats at the sleeve head and the other with no pleats or gathers at the sleeve head. The sleeve is designed to be off the shoulder and may require an adjustment if you prefer your sleeve to sit on the shoulder. The sleeve opening is voluminous and finished with an elastic casing. Cortney has a band collar and a wide, long front placket that can be buttoned closed or worn open to create a deep V. Both the top and dress are oversized and voluminous. It is recommended to check the finished measurement chart when deciding what size to make in case you prefer a neater fit. The top can be worn out or tucked in. The dress can be cinched in at the waist with a waist tie if desired. And of course there are pockets!
