Hi All
Does anyone here make year quilts....it is where you choose a piece of fabric for every day of the year which relates to your day...some people keep a diary of why they choose that, others just make the quilt.
It can be simple...for eg you may just use a piece of fabric you like, or from a quilt you worked on that day, or wedding fabric if you went to a wedding..the choice is yours!
Here is a couple I did a few years ago now...
Would love to see any you have done?

The months are embroidered on the purple strips

I used a different colour border for each month in this one and just started in the centre and went round and round
