Starflower Blocks

Attention! Prepare for very very bad photos! I have no idea how to make photos of such big objects! I can't go out with them because I live in an enormous block of flats and in front of my block of flats I have no green areas where I can make some photos.. well I could wait with showing these things to spring or summer.. but I'm not a very patient person! haha

I sewed this set about a month (or maybe two) ago.. And I made them thanks to Ellison's tutorial! It's really easy to make starflower blocks - hop onto her blog and check it :)

I made two big (50 x 50 cm) starflower pillows.. my mom picked the fabrics because it was for her :) her little special order ;p as you can see on the photo below the backs of these pillows are made from soft to the touch polar..

And here.. the most important thing.. a (little bit) quilted duvet! It isn't very big it's about 110cm wide and 160cm long - so it's just for one person - perfect for cold evenings with a book (checked!) or warm summer nights! ;d 

It's my first duvet - it's thick and the back of it is also polar, so it's twice warm :) but it's also twice crooked! I have no idea what went wrong, maybe I just sewed it too fast? Don't know.. all I know that it is crooked and I don't really care because still I'm proud of it haha!

I'm very happy I used two of my new decorating stitches - the flowery one and the leafs.. They look really nice (when you imagine that the whole duvet isn't crooked haha!)

What do you think? Do you like it? I'm very proud of it but like I said it's my first duvet! More experienced quilters will probably just laugh! ;p

I am really really sorry for these awful photos!

Have a nice weekend - and wish me luck on Monday..

I have to pass Great Britain's Culture oral test! ;o
