Preparations

 I have arranged and numbered the blocks of my blue and red Simple Marks Shape Sorter quilt ready to assemble at an upcoming retreat.

I like the sidesbetter than the centre

The sides go right but centres off.











Karen Lewis designed this project for the Thread House and the blocks were a joy to sew but assembly was tricky. Karen used a single background fabric and this would have been a better option. Her quilt was ten blocks by ten finishing at 80", a useful size, and I may return to this pattern at some future date.

I used a charm pack to make a flying triangles doll quilt to sell at our quilt show coming up and hope to do more and also table runners.



I have left the binding on the Africana  to sew down on holiday.

I took an aide memoire photo of a section of my Quilt of the Crosses which I hope also to get round to while away.






On another note I finished my Blue Woolies Chequerboard on the 14th, the eighth and last from this fabric type. I'll try to do a post of them all together. Maggie  now has my remaining Woolies.
