Thanks to the big horizontal surfaces we have at Crafty Church I managed to get three tops spray basted - I don't even think I showed this first one as a completed flimsy! 1767 hexies!!!
It has been spray basted onto a fleece blanket, and tacked around the edges, but quilting (it will be hand quilted inside the flowers!) is a hot task, so that will wait until the cooler months
Same with this one: fewer pieces (270 maybe?), and a smaller result (definitely just a lap quilt as I ran out of Australian fabrics and didn't want too much repetition) ), but spray basted onto fleece and waiting to be quilted
and finally this one has been spray basted onto just a cotton sheet. It will be machine quilted but will have to wait its turn (thank you Jackie for the gorgeous FQ pack!)
The reason the sunshine block will have to wait? There are 4 brick wall i-spy quilts that have been cut and are being pieced, so the machine is threaded with grey until these are done - I have a stall at a village fair at the end of next month so I need to have some stuff to show and hopefully sell!!!
And because there has to be *some* EPP going on . . . I've started piecing this one
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.
Talk about busy! All looking lovely - but four 'brick' quilts within a month sounds very ambitious! Good luck with them and all the other lovely projects that you have basted. xxx
ReplyDeleteWell done on ALL the basting. I love them all. You are very productive xx
ReplyDeleteThat is great progress. I especially love the top hexie one but you're right. It's far too hot for quilting. You will have plenty to do in the Winter :)
