I drew the pattern on to graph paper and numbered the pieces before cutting them out - that helps me to keep everything more of less lined up.
The fabrics are genuine vintage - they come from an amazing Australian online store called A Piece of Cloth and I believe they are sources from the USA. So diffferent to work with - the colours are so vibrant. Many of the fabrics were glazed so a bit hard to get the needle through - otherwise I had no problems .
At the moment I am hand quilting this - rather inexpertly - but practice makes perfect!
