Bits & Bobs

 

I framed the DP tulip block to bring it up to size and looking at the pieces laid out I need to do this elsewhere. Just the clamshells and basket to do plus fillers so should manage to get on with this.

Tried a bit of "webbing".

And I made the Quay raffle quilt chequerboard block - don't feel up to an applique one. Using the group fabric I miscut my pieces too small so had to use mainly my own. I hope this doesn't put the quilt out of kilter. I took in my fabrics hoping they will appear elsewhere in the quilt.

I finally ran out of displacement activities and ditch quilted the sashing strips of my Modernish sampler. The fine thread disappeared. I am now happily handquilting the border in 12wt. perle attempting big stitch. I'll post shortly.

One of my displacement actions was laying out the blue Simple Shapes blocks. I did the outsides first which pleased me but but I am dissatisfied with the middle but it will more or less have to do. When I come to the warm version I'll start in the middle.

And we had a Chartham Hatch day. I made a doll quilt using a charm pack which I didn't photograph but I did take a picture of a baby quilt Tracy made for (I think) her great nephew.
