This last few weeks I have been doing the wristwatch quilt that Paula of Sassy quilters did through Bear Creek web site. Once again it is for Helen hence the pink and grey. Now all blocks together and it is at the flimsy stage but problems re the quilting, as there is so much blank space it needs accurate quilting so think it needs to go to bed for a few years. I have lots of the grey fabric, 5 yards which I picked up for £5, she wants that on the back too, rather boring but if it is what she wants!
Helen is not only into pink and grey she is also into butterflies so this fabric has worked very well. Now you can see the problem with all the plain areas for quilting. The quilt measures 60" x 60"
Yesterday I worked on Helen`s crazy block for june
I have more to do on this one, the grey cat fabric at the bottom needs seam treatment and a few more bits would not be a bad thing but it will be cut down slightly when I put them all together. Rather like my butterfly, it is from the fabric I used in the wristwatch quilt, I bonded the butterfly then added some straight stitches and french knots. I struggle with this colour range but Helen seems to approve so that means all is okay.
I live in West Yorkshire where the tour de France starts so our MQG have been invited to make things based on wheels for an exhibition that will run in july in Harrogate I have made something, not sure it will be accepted, I take it to the meeting on 21st, if approved I will put a photo on here.
