Make your family a unique picnic set, featuring a funky quilt based on the Australian flag, complete with Union Jack and appliquéd stars, and an insulated carry bag that will keep food and drinks chilled. Make one or both using this quilt and bag pattern by Michelle Long.
- Full materials list included in instructions
- Detailed step-by-step instructions illustrated with close-up photographs and diagrams take you through each stage of these projects
- The Union Jack design is foundation pieced to ensure accuracy
- The rest of the quilt is made using simple patchwork - just squares, strips and half-square triangles - embellished with appliquéd stars
- Appliqué shapes are provided full-size, ready to trace
- Instructions are for raw-edge fusible-web appliqué stitched by machine, but they can be readily adapted to suit the appliqué method of your choice
- Only small pieces of fabrics are needed for the patchwork, so raid your stash - the quilt centre can be made from 10in (layer cake) squares
- The chiller bag is lined with Insulbrite batting to keep its contents cool
- The extra-long wrap-around zipper makes it easy to access the bag's contents
- Suitable for intermediate crafters who enjoy combining a number of different techniques
