On the bed

 

A favourite scrappy quilt using "Mary's Triangles" technique units.

Elf Night

An elf came to our Crab & Winkle meeting and no it's not me in disguise.






Meanwhile that morning there was an uninvited visitor in our garden when I looked out of the bedroom window.

And on a patchwork note I have been sorting my sewing room and three wardrobe shelves are stacked with UFO's in boxes and ranged in bags in a large wicker basket. I've pinned a list of what is where  on the inside of the door to remind me and intend to complete one or two for every new project I start. I came across stuff I didn't know I had such as a batch of Mary's triangle units and cut squares leftover from the Quay Quilters' raffle quilt of a few years ago. I've used all of them with the addition of a few freshly cut squares to complete the four patches to make Linus (teenager) quilt top. It will stay as a top for a bit but at least the pieces are accounted for. Finding fabric for borders and backs is much easier now that all is visible on the linen chest shelves though I don't have many big pieces and I'm confining myself to stash. So this floral fabric was the best I could do from what I had and though I would never have bought it to complete the top I like it.

Changing the bed

At present I've got the Quay Quilt on my bed made using Mary's Triangles in shades of green, blues and purples mainly. It probably looks best hung on a large wall but it's also pleasant to sit in bed and look at the pattern, like being at sea, foamy and green. It's called the Quay Quilt because it's a resized verion of the Quay Quilters' raffle quilt some years ago.
