Sewing up a storm

The first week of January has been wonderful, despite the oppressively hot weather Sydney has been experiencing. Sitting in front of a big fan I have been stitching away.

Here are the blocks



Here they are on point



I love the way the placement of the colours and shapes lead your eyes around the quilt. There always seems to be something interesting to notice. 

I have now been playing with ways to set the blocks into a cohesive pattern for a quilt top and I will show you on my next post. What I can tell you is that there is no wastage of fabric, as the left over strips can be put together to make a pieced backing




The quilt pattern will be available soon.

I hope that 2015 has gotten off to a great start for you too.
Happy sewing, Miriamx

      Thank you! This quilt has a finished size of 60" x 60" , making it useful as a bed topper, a lap quilt or a table topper. I like this size because it is easy to make, quilt on a domestic machine if desired, and versatile.
