Good morning to all, Have you soon the online Quilt festival. it is great we dont have to leave home and get to hear about the interesting stories behind each quilt.
My current favourite quilt at the moment is a birthday block quilt made for me as blocks by my quilting friends and pieced and quilted by me. I love the cheery bright colours. What made this quilt work was the multiple materials in the pieced blocks. One of the materials I used in the quilt which I fell in love with is this, enough to use as a feature material for another quilt.
PS I have just been out to my studio to count up the number of smaller ufo's I have started and the number is alarming so I have decided to join the Spring to Finish. The number of ufo's is something like 20 smaller projects from bags to smaller pincushions I will let you know how I get on with the finishing of at least some of them.
