WIP Wednesday: Bee Blocks And Shot Cottons

Still not much progress to report. My dad flew in from HK on Thursday, and my schedule was pretty busy even before that.

Inching Along
Books And Blocks Bee

For Kelleigh Z, May's Pinwheel block:

Due to not thinking things through, I've run out of Kona Ash for the borders. Once I get the centre sewn together and stuck on, it'll go to Kelleigh, who'll add the borders herself. (So sorry about that!)

For Ylrbmk, June's Stone Cathedral block:

Never done a Cathedral Windows block before. It's not as difficult as I imagined, just fiddly!

I have my block for July all picked out - I just have to make it up to show people what I want!

Stuck In The Mud
Build Me Up Buttercup

Just haven't had time to sit down and sew the blocks together!

Mum's Impstar

Binding, binding, binding - so close and still so far! :(

New York Beauty

Okay, this has ground to a halt and I've come to a decision about it. I'm going to finish the blocks I've already cut and prepped, and they and the presently finished ones are going to turn into a mini-quilt.

This is mostly because of the Sydney Craft And Quilt Fair, at which I purchased...stash...

Saffron Craig half-yards:

Two layer cakes:

And these:

Reece Scannell cottons.

Which I am planning to make into a New York Beauty quilt, inspired by others in the New York Beauty Quilt Along, although primarily by Elizabeth Dackson of Don't Call Me Betsy with her NYB mini quilt (the one that's in the Summer Sewing Contest).

They're so preeeeetttyyyyy!

Just as soon as I can clear the decks...

Anyway, it's WIP Wednesday which means there's a linky party about, and other people's projects to admire!
