Quilting and patchwork are
Kim’s first love, closely followed
by machine embroidery, and
she likes nothing better than
combining her two loves. Floral
Confetti is a perfect example
of this marriage of techniques.
This lap quilt is as beautiful
as it is simple, and perfect
for a beginner of one or both
techniques. Kim used confetti
fabric and hand dyed crosscut
3in fabric squares to create
small fabric triangles pieced
using a variation on the Flying
Geese patchwork technique.
The accompanying stylised
floral embroidery is from Kim’s
latest design CD, aptly named
Floral Confetti. If you would
like to make this lap quilt,
Kim has it as a kit which
includes the directions, fabric
and designs so email Kim:
