Finally

Hi,
So I finally got around to put everything up on my designwall. First I thought i was going to do the cornerstones in the red background, but now i think i'll just stick with the coloured squares also.
I feel kind of proud of myself to have done everything from my stash, with some quite old fabrics that i don't even like anymore, because i really do like the result.

I'm working on the borderblocks now, but have nothing to show so that will be for next time.

Enjoy whatever you're doing!

Hello every one

This is my block 8 from the lollipops. I'm already sewing my 9th and final block and also keeping busy with sewing the sashings.
I'll have to wait at least until the kids are going back to school on september 1st before i can prep the borderblocks.
Also already thinking hard what quilt i will start next.

I hope you have fun doing whatever you do.

Block 7

Here's my block 7 of Kims Lollipops.
It's the first one with some pink in it, as Kim suggested. And I made some more sashings.
Blocks 8 and 9 are already prepped. Will start prepping the border blocks soon.

On another note : is someone going to the 'Festival of Quilts' in Birmingham UK by any chance? I'm going. Maybe we could meet up?

For now : enjoy what you are doing.

The last few weeks i have been busy cutting and drawing hundreds of squares for the sashings, since i will be handsewing them.
Put them all in a paper bag so to take them randomly out for sewing.















After sewing a couple of rows i tried it out between the blocks, and guess what : i like it a lot. And i am sure it will even get better.
I'm thinking red cornerstones, same as the background from the blocks.

Enjoy the sewing,
Françoise

Peek at pink

Couldn't wait to show with the pink. I love it.
Thank you so much Kim for the suggestion!
