Quarantine Quilt Show at Home

Happy Saturday. Since quarantine started here in the UK on the 23rd March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been joining Pokey Bolton on her Instagram live video at 9pm every evening. 
Children have rainbow and bear treasure hunts during lockdown.  Pokey suggested that we have a quarantine quilt show at home to cheer up our neighbours every Saturday during lockdown.
So we have quilts! Although Mr D thought he should hang the White Ensign flag.  For those who do not know, the Royal Navy fly this flag on their ships, boats and shore bases.
Next Saturday I must remember to hang a larger quilt!

OPAM April

When you are 'staying at home' and need a simple task to keep some routine in your day so I am finishing some UFO's. This mini modern wall hanging quilt just need the binding and sleeve.
All hand dyed fabric.  Random machine quilted shapes.  I am inspired to make a bigger version.
I started this quilt many many moons ago.  It is a sample that I made in a workshop with Alicia Merrett.  It is wonderful to achieve finishing this task.
