It's Enormous

In my quest to finish things off, I made the last 4 blocks I needed so I could start piecing a quilt made entirely from Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I started this at the beginning of the year in Melbourne, in a class with Brenda Gael Smith.

This is all the blocks laying on the floor of my lounge room. As you can see, it doesn't quite fit between the tv cabinet (top) and the lounge chair (bottom) because there is actually another row missing from the bottom there - because it was sitting in the sewing machine being sewn together. A conservative estimate has me thinking this will be 2.2m by 2.5m, or, the perfect size for my queen size bed.

I'm excited..

I'm Back!

Sorry for the long absence.

First up, here are my first set of reproduction 9 patch blocks for Christine's 9 Patch Swap. I've had these made a while but I'm still 2 months behind (or is it three? eeik!).

I also handed in my entry to the Ekka last week, but was in such a rush I forgot to take a photo! Opps!

And so as usually goes with finishing something, all I want to do is start something new! I even have the project picked out. Its from Material Obsession 2: Shared Inspiration designed by Sarah Fielk. I'm really excited about it and even have some fabrics being sent to me from far off places, but I refuse to let myself start it until I finish some projects! So over the next week or two you will hopefully see a lot of old projects moving on to the 'finished' pile.

Till next time!
