Up to date

 Now I've caught up with lots of recent quilty activities. Running up to our family Christmas I only have Quay Quilters this coming week so I should be able to keep up to date with posting current sewing.

I am doing lots of things all at once.

Woolie Diamonds

I stopped with the  woolie leader ender at 45 squares which left me with a 6 by 7 arrangement and three spares. Random proved just that so I sorted pairs of same fabric isosceles triangles and listed how many I had of each. I drew a plan of alternate vertical rows of diamonds and photocopied it in case I needed a second draft. I entered colour names into the drawing and added odd squares at top and bottom of alternate rows. Then I laid them out accordingly swapping with a squre of the same if the "Spikes" didn't fit. Not having a initial plan I was constrained and there are issues but so what - I am happy.

I tried out borders but nothing was right it will be small 36x42", a knee rug.

My L top is complete and I have cut Grunge binding strips

Inspired by Donna Jordan videos i use
a weight to secure the end of my ruler and
stop it slipping.

Border attached

So nice to stitch in a tidied up sewing room

Finished top before binding.
