Have you ever looked at a tumbling blocks tutorial and wondered how to sew all the tumbling block units together? Wonder no more!

My first major quilt project. Made as a wedding gift for two dear friends of mine, both transport geeks. The title of the project comes from my favourite line in A Fish Called Wanda (and quite possibly my favourite line in film history): "Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'Every Man For Himself'. And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up." The pattern involved downloading a PDF of the Tube Map (The 150th anniversary edition from TFL), which is conveniently gridded. I gridded out the fabric in 9 inch squares and used a ruler to measure out and transfer the design with a water soluble marker. I made continuous bias binding 1 inch wide and turned it into 1/2 inch finished strips using the Simplicity Bias Maker (which was a GODSEND). Pinned the strips onto the fabric as per the pattern and overstitched with a 1.5mm long/wide zig zag stitch on each edge with blending thread. All the curves are eased except the Thames, which is done in sections. The backing was a great find - the Routemaster Bus fabric from the London Calling line that I saw at Spotlight and grabbed it straight away. The quilting around the outside is large-ish stippling. The negative space inside the lines is done in a variety of free motion quilting designs, mostly picked up from Craftsy.com courses which have been super-helpful. In addition to the filler designs, I also quilted: The Greenwich Meridian, a pound sign for the Bank of England, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, The British Museum, Tower Clock/Big Ben, the Imperial State Crown (for Buckingham Palace), the V&A logo, a tennis ball for Wimbledon, a flower for Kew Gardens and a plane at LHR.
