Well, it arrived yesterday in the disguise of my stashbuster sewing group. Cups of tea, banana and cinnamon muffins, and plenty of catch up news,and we got down to work. l gave Bev the challenge of helping DO SOMETHING with these blocks. The fabric was flying, the rotary cutter was running hot. Inspiration was flowing.
This pile of fabric
became this cute quilt.
These cute blocks and fabrics became
This sweetie.
And finally these pinwheels
Became this!
There still more blocks waiting their turn. Its a holiday weekend here in Australia. WE get to celebrate the Queens birthday with a day off work. Its also the opening of the snow season and the weekend we finally move my son into his own home. Sounds good to me!!It's also Lime season here, and Jill took a bag of them home 2 weeks ago. With 3 tree's, we have plenty to spare. This cute jar of Lime Marmalade came back. In my opinion, its a pretty good trade. Can't wait to try it on some crusty bread.
Thanks for visiting.Linda.
Great post Linda. Your quilt group is much more productive than hours - although we do eat a lot!
ReplyDeleteLove those little quilts.
Never would I have put those blocks together with that fabric. That is what is so fun about quilt groups. Great minds working together. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOOh I don't know which little one I like best - I think the middle one. Although each one appeals to me. What a productive session.
ReplyDeleteI think I was chatting to Bev a few days ago in the Small Quilt Talk group.
Your little quilts are fabulous. I love how you used the stripes. What an inspiration. Thanks to Elyte for sharing your blog with us on Smallquilttalk on Yahoo groups. Bonnie

I love all three. The fabric choices and settings are all so clever. I especially like the stripes.
ReplyDeleteI love all those quilts! How fantastic to have them all sewn up now instead of floating around the sewing room.
