Maybe it is time to have a complete overhaul. here in the southern hemisphere Spring is dancing on our doorsteps.
What a wonderful start it has been - cold fronts and all but one thing remains - the gardens are looking fantastic.
I have been making a quilt for a lady I worked with over the past 9 years. I did get her interested in quilting but I don't think she ended up with the same passion as me. However she did start to develop a healthy stash and passed most of this to me with a request that I make her a quilt.
I did start one last year and then stalled - something was not quite right.
Recently I have acquired two books by Camille Roskelly and in her latest one there was this glorious large quilt made up of only 16 blocks. Today I finished the blocks and tomorrow I will put them together.
I will post photos tomorrow as this quilt looks stunning. It is in classic blue and white and I cannot wait to load it on my frame and get into the negative spaces.
As I was completing these blocks today I looked around my work space and decided I really must complete the many almost finished tops as well as half completed.
I am also a fan of scrap quilts and have saved almost every piece of what I think is useable fabric over the past 30 years.
I am setting myself a challenge over the next year - how many quilts can I make with what I have.
I will document this process and post hopefully each day so it will be like a diary.
Keep coming back to see how I am going.
