Final Product Designs and Planning

At the start  of the week, having been given the task of making a hot water bottle cover, I did some contextual research on Pinterest

Finding that often hot water bottles were associated with blankets, I thought it'd be innovative to create a patchwork quilt that has a built in pouch for a hot water bottle. Because of time constraints I thought it wise to aim for a small child's quilt as I'd be hand stitching the majority of it. I decided on hexagon patchwork as I loved the look my sample so much. I used fabrics that reflected colours of the fair grounds best.
After having tacked al my hexagons I wasn't sure of the arrangement.

This is the arrangement I have now settled for secured with masking tape to make sure I can transport the arrangement without messing it up.

I also need to consider how I'm going to secure the hot water bottle into the quilt. I think a pouch with either a velcro flap or buttoned.
