Off to bed, but first . . .

Just want to show that I have been working on the texture quilt

It's got the stage where lots of work only looks a little bit difference.  All the blocks and the sashing have now been joined, and some of the sashings have been quilted.  A bit more quilting to do and then the binding, and it's good to go to it's new home.

I splashed out on some Aurifil quilting threads at Festival of Quilts, and they really are much better than the cheap tat I usually use, but I didn't think to get cream!  I'll have to start building up my Aurifil collection!

Next deadline is for a Graduation quilt for 10th September: it's pieced and basted, but only partially quilted.

  2. That texture quilt is so clever, but you need to be onto more colourful ones.

    I've yet to try Auriful. Sounds like I need to get some!
