Red & White Constellation Quilt 1

There’s something about the clean lines of this design I find very appealing.

Blue and White July Play 3 Quilt

Same quilt but I decided I wanted more impact in the outer border so I changed it to the darker colour.

 

I prefer it too!

Blue and White July Play Quilt 2 A and B

Simple design once again.

 

Then I thought it needed a slight adjustment to make the border more interesting. I quite like it!

Blue & White July Play Quilt

It’s not a favourite design but perhaps if I think of it in different terms it may become more appealing. May be if I thought of it as a ‘masculine’ design I would see it in a very different light!

Why is it you always see the mistake after you push the ‘publish’ button lol. Oh well, not the first time and probably not the last. Think of it as a very personal ‘copyright’ statement.

Super-Mario-Brothers-Quilt-Along

 

 

 

 

 

Angela over at Cut to Pieces is hosting a Super Mario Brothers Quilt Along. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. Yesterday I went out and bought most of the fabrics required. I think I’ll have to make 2 sets though! 2 sons who both think this sounds great. That’s a lot of stitching! I’ve started washing my fabrics and can’t wait to slide a new blade into my rotary cutter. 🙂

Son number 1 thought we needed a Bowser, pictured above, for the quilt but this block is huge, perhaps if I find time I could make one up for the back. Only time will tell!

All requirements are listed and a there’s a Flickr group as well.

Yesterday I was also informed there’s a teacher evening planned for the beginning of October and my contribution needs to be basted and quilted. Oh so many projects and so little time.

Gotta fly, byeee.

Quilt Dreaming

I’m sick of winter, we’re only halfway through but I’ve had enough. I’ve never been one to appreciate cold weather, I prefer warmth and sunshine. I don’t like skiing or any snow or ice activities. I’m ready for some of this ….

Roaring forties is the name given to strong westerly winds found in the southern hemisphere, that’s what these strong colours make me think of.

Fandom’s Summer Challenge Idea

Jennifer from Fandom in Stitches has a summer challenge running until 23 July, 2012. The blocks do not have to be paper pieced. The theme is Rock Our Socks with your own original music themed patterns. Rules and guidelines on the page.

I’ve been racking my brain but not much design inspiration happening I’m afraid. This morning I thought about this and decided to give it a whirl. I was thinking about a 12″ block but I think the pieces would be far too small and it would be difficult to complete. I must admit I’m pretty pleased with it but it would certainly need to be a much larger block. Fun though isn’t it? Every time I look at it it puts a smile on my face.
