I was itching to start something that would grow quickly, and found some red flowery fabric that my Uncle and his wife gave me a while ago. I cut the flowery fabric into 6 inch blocks, and got the left-over 2.5 inch strips from the cream quilts I'd been making a while ago. As the blocks were the same fabric, I decided to use a variety of fabrics for the strips, although they are all the same tones.
I added two borders to each block (well, I did until I ran out of cream fabric!!!!)
This is how I will arrange the blocks - but first I need to get some more cream fabrics - so much for a quick quilt!
I've used this block before, but still have no idea what it's called!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
These sort of things always thwart you in a sods law sort of a way, hope you can get more cream soon!
