A little bit of this ... and a little bit of that

I'm happily working on a few things at present .....not a lot to show yet.
Here are a few peeks !!

Firstly, I have made a little progress on my Value Quilt Along blocks .



I am thinking of doing another one ... next time pairing the colour values with white .
Like this one

My blue & white quilt is coming along , I'm working on the borders .
Strips of 1" squares ..... yikes I hope they fit in !!!



Love , love working with the French General fat quarters .... here is a birthday bag for Jane .

Sunday Stash #14 ... a little late


French General , originally uploaded by small quilts.

A set of fat quarters from French General .
Linens & cottons in every shade of taupe your little heart desires plus that shade of antique red
that works so well with neutrals .





I am eagerly waiting for a delivery of the prints !!

bougainvillaea pinks


This simple little quilt has been a long time in the making , my original idea was to machine quilt in the ditch & add hand quilting in scattered blocks .
As a hand quilting novice I think I made the wrong choice in batting & it was palm achingly hard to finish all the blocks that I would have liked .
So , it needs to make it's way to it's new owner & can't wait any longer .
I hope she likes it ..... I love the combination of brilliant colours & some pastels thrown in .
