March and February BOM update


So I'm sure you have been waiting on an update.  Sorry things have been a bit busy but a few blog posts over this week will explain them all. Anyway above is the handpieced February block the uneven 9 patch. 

So then I started the hand pieced block for March and this was lots of fun.  The Dutch 9 patch, I started with the centre and to get it correct we had to use a generous seam rather than a scant seam.

Here is the centre finished.  Then I proceeded to join the other units to make rows to complete the block. 
Complete ready to go with the others.
   


Here is the three months of all the hand pieced blocks together. 

And look at this, all of the blocks I have completed, the machined blocks and the handpieced ones.  I am so looking forward to making both of these quilts, one by machine and one by hand!  

Over the weekend I had a little accident and fell.  I have my right wrist and arm in a half cast. I need a scan to determine if I have soft tissue damage or if I have a scaphoid fracture.  So whilst I can't cut I have found I can sew and I have a lot of 2.5" squares from leftover scraps and a wonderful group of swappers.  So this is what I have been doing to while away my boredom. 
So until tomorrow's catch up.  Tack care and have fun creating, I know I am.

 oh and don't forget to leave a comment, I love to here from you all.

Bye for now

Layers of Trifle dish quilt coming together


Just thought I would share a few of the photos from my latest quilt top.  I am currently piecing this top from my scrap heap pile.  I have only added a couple of fat quarters so I might just take my scraps after all. 













I am nearly up to half way and am very excited at how this is looking.  I can't wait to piece the next few layers, I have resized my quilt as I do not want mine as big and I wanted to make it more of my own.  If you would like to make one go to Moda bake shop and download the free Trifle dish quilt instructions.

Until next time continue to have fun in your quilty adventures

Wendy.
