Ireland Indeed

Not only am I off to visit Jackie in Ireland* on Friday (YIPPEE) but I've also finished making the 9 patch blocks for my Essential Irish quilt.  The next stage is taking them to mum's so we can speed date the blocks on her thankfully uncluttered floor (unlike mine) and work out how to best arrange them.

I have temporarily mislaid the sketch of the layout, so I hope I have the right number of all darks, 6 darks and 4 darks, but I do have 130 blocks made and pressed

(*baddies need not bother trying to establish my address: the rest of the family are staying home and the police, military and other emergency services are camped in the village repairing the flood damage - this must be the safest three square miles in the south east of England!!!!!)

Retro Rainbow

This top has been a PHD (project half done) since the autumn, but I managed to get it basted and quilted over the last few days, and the binding is half done.

For once I actually did real quilting, inspired by Hadley's Constellation quilting. I'm not sure you can see it here, but its a diamond spiral from the centre.

Yay, clearing the UFO pile :-)
