    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?

    Kylie

    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

    What a great idea for a memory quilt. Each time you look at a piece it would remind you of that day.

    Nice quilts.

    Wow! Cool idea! I would have to keep a diary for sure. My mother kept a diary for 20+ years and would that have been neat to have a 20 quilts!
