After the camp.....killed UFO - July

I spent a wonderful week in Karcag with half of our topic, too.... In the fisrt part of the camp teacher Evi forced us to make a quilllow..... I have told you several times that I am not for making quilts.... not at all..... But this is a great idea, it seemed funny for me.... So, here you are: my first quilt!!!! (and luckily I managed to finish it in July so this can be the July project.....sorry for the long break, I had no pic than no time to complete this post....)

It should have been a Bento Box quilt but as usual I changed things a bit to make something unique, so I simply designed the quilt in a different way.... I know it would have been easier to sew this pattern with the log cabin technique but I wanted to learn at least the way of Evi's project so I used the Bento Box technique....

I used two yellows as the shop ran out of the one I wanted, plus the green (a very tricky one, I had some problems with that fabric) and a cheap IKEA yellow for the background.

As usual I quilted in with Evi's Bernina and I free stitched it... That was fun, you know, just drawing with the machine... I really enjoyed it, but for the arms it was like being in a gym.... But I am sure you all know it...

This picture was taken in Karceg when we tried the block orders.... Evi taught a method which made our life easier.... We put all the blocks on the floor and took a picture with a digital camera of them then looked at the 'quilt' on the camera.... Looking at a small pic was a good idea, we could make decisions easily... So here is mine:

As I mentioned before I am a slow sewer so I could finish the quilt but I could sew the pillow part only on the train....
Here is my quilllow in quilt form at home:

And here is my quillow in the pillow form:
The colours are quite different in the pics, the first one is the closest...
