30th project

It's my 30th birthday this week! I don't really feel 30, but I thought I would create something throughout my 30th year as a memento of this time in my life. So I've decided to sew a quilt.

Our family has recently moved out of the city down to the lush green foresty south coast. The quilt will be made in a forest colour theme.

All the fabric for the quilt is donated by my dear friends and family. Everyone chose something they thought was beautiful, represents their personality or significant to them... a scrap from a cushion cover they have in their house, covered in insects and bugs because of their love of nature and creepy crawlies, soft gentle and floral patterns or bold bright and dynamic. So many beautiful greens!

I love the idea that a little piece of everyone that is significant in my life will be sewn into something I can wrap around myself and keep me warm.
