A bit of patchwork

Not many pics to add although i have been busy with my machine..i just keep forgetting to snap and blog!

Here's my first attempt at machine patchwork quilting. Following on from all the cushions covers and footstall I recovered for my sister I found i had rather a lot of excess faux swede. I was inspired by my sisters newly laid laminate flooring and decided to base the pattern on the long random rectangle strips. This was a very challenging material to patchwork with! especially as i didn't have a walking foot for my bernina ( and at £70 i was reluctant to buy in case i didn't use it again..so i borrowed my freinds machine who did..Thankyou Claire :-)
