WIP Wednesday: the one with a QAL!


Done: Quilt Backings!

I got four of them together and they're being posted this morning!

WIP: Snowflake Quilt

I think I'm going to have to draft a paper-piecing pattern for these blocks. They can be done in pieces, but it's finicky. The first block was pretty bad. The second block was a little better.

Of course, the block that has all the really wonky seams is the one with the really visible colours!

WIP: Passacaglia

Another Rosette done!

Just have to finish sewing the last one together, And then we'll start on the smaller part-Rosettes for the lower half of the quilt! Slowly, slowly, slowly!

And today is the start of the Sydney Quilt Show 2014 - ooh, and Kim Bradley's Creations has Cotton+Steel in and it's being cut at her warehouse today! Looking forward to getting my hands on that.

I went with a couple of friends, among them Jenn of Penny Poppleton, who won second prize for her quilt South-West Sunset!

As for purchasing things, I was pretty restrained, and only bought one 'jelly roll' of Reece Scanell, visible on the bottom right of the photo.

  1. Your rosettes are spectacular ! It's the first time I see something like that. I also really like your snowflakes (especially the color choice). It is somewhere on one of my want-to-do list.

  3. They look great! Well worth the effort. Would sure love to see a paper pieced pattern for them as I don't reckon I'd be up to the challenge. Thanks, Jen
