Cheerio Quilt

Whoops. I did finish her two weeks ago, but I've been swamped since then. But I'm so pleased with how she turned out.

I used an aqua print for the back. And of course red scallops for the binding. 

Might need to hang her on my bedroom wall!

Binding Cheerio

I made the most of being on sick leave and got my Cheerio quilt basted and quilted.

Just need to finish the binding.

My next project which I'm really looking forward to is going to be with Kate Spain's Paradiso. Pink are blue are a winner for me. Then I'll probably head towards Horizon unless something else catches my eye before then.

Cheerio Progress

After a quick game of block-shuffle to sort out my colour combinations, assisted by Miss Bella of course, it was finally time to get these blocks assembled!

 

They got together quite easily once you work out how to line up the angled seam. I already have 10 of the 42 blocks done!

 

 Some blocks will be high-contrast, others low, and some a little in between. I'm quite liking them so far!

Cheerio

I've been hoarding a Miss Kate fat eighth bundle and Cheerio seemed to be the perfect pattern. 

I got all the coloured squares cut last week. 

And had a mammoth session cutting 420 background squares last night.

Currently chain-piecing the main part of the blocks. Loving it already!
