Motley doings

 I had a go at Pippa's blocks but made them much too big.

At Quay Delia showed a "Fiddle" quilt made for an elderly relative suffering from Alzheimers.

Fiddle quilt to keep fidgety hands busy.


And Hilary had made this cobblestones quilt.

Pippa had gone on to make a variation of her block technique, hugely graphic.

I have completed nine blue and yellow blocks and have decided to stop there instead of making twelve as originally planned.  I shall leader/ender remaining triangles to use in the border.
And I managed to collect some fabric for a stash sale stall at Oast, all disposed of cheaply.

At Quay Quilters Pippa showed this quilt and demonstrated the clever piecing method.
More clever piecing, this time in a two strip mix up class with Valerie Nesbit. Mine is bottom right using Malaysian batiks from my time there in 1999-2000.


Here is Mary I. with novelty print quilt for her great nephew.
