Go quilting!
Quilting is a method of stitching layers of material together and can create such beautiful patterns!
The history of quilting can be traced back at least to medieval times and has some social aspects and benefits, too. Particularly in north America, where early settlers from England and Holland established quilting as a popular craft, there is a tradition of a quilt-making 'bee' for a person about to get married, with the aim of working together and stitching a whole quilt in one day!
Although quilting can just use basic running stitch or backstitch, each stitch has to be made individually to ensure it catches all the layers within the quilt. Where the stitching is laid down in decorative patterns, it can be extremely fine work. Popular stitching patterns have been given names such as 'Broken Plaid', 'Hanging Diamond', 'Twisted Rope' or 'True Lovers' Knot'.
Isn't this a nice theme around Valentine's, the day of love and friendship? Create a blanket in the wardrobe Solobia style (no HA showing up) and post it here together with the picture of your inspiration, please.
All wearables are allowed, you don't have to own them. You don't have to use one of the prize items. Please make a new design.
Have fun!

This may be less quilt style (I was struggling to find the right items) but this, New Dawn, is one of my favorite quilt designs ever. It uses a beautiful combo of techniques with a rich history, so it was wonderful to draw inspiration from!
