Hello all! Just thought I’d squeeze in a little post before the weekend.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram (it took a while, but I’ve finally found my way over there) then you’d have seen this already:
This is the Red Letter Day quilt I started at Camille’s class last month. As it’s for one of my boys I decided on a blue/green/aqua colour scheme, and I added an extra row of stars to bring it up to twin size (the blocks are 22.5″ square).
I ummed and ahhhed about the back until I decided that I would use all my left over scraps to put together some improv-style blocks.
When I was through I remembered that I was planning to do a scrappy binding, but now had no scraps. D’oh. I might just go with the solid turquoise for binding now (same as the central, inverse star).
In other news, I’m hoping to get the pattern shop set up this weekend and finally put my first pattern up for sale. I’m a bit of a tech klutz so keep your fingers crossed I don’t short out the internet while I’m at it.
Fabulous choice of fabrics and music.
Oooh, pretty colours and gorgeous top!
Gorgeous! I love the way the fabrics work together! You did a fabulous job!
Hello! You’ve been busy!! :-) I love the quilt top and the binding story sounds like something that could happen to me! I’m looking forward to see the finished quilt, it’s such a striking pattern! And please don’t frizz the internet, thanks! :-D
LOVE your quilt.
I was reading this post and guess what song came on the radio – good thing that I love it too:) Your quilt looks amazing – I was thinking it would be a good pattern for my teenage sons quilts when I finally get around to making them.
Mmmm surprising or not… why a new video, old one better… ’nuff said.
Great tune – I could see video #2. Thanks for sharing. Quilt’s not bad either ; )
Love the quilt! Your dedication astounds me……can’t imagine joining all those tiny pieces for a quilt back. Isn’t that song great……just the song to turn up loud and sing along to while the neighbouring cars stare amused.
Working in the UK, and I love it! Quilts pretty good too!
The latter video works fine in Finland. Your quilt is fabulous! They always are!
Grrrr! My vacationing laptop can’t read the video. It will have to wait until I am home next week. Your quilt top looks great and plain binding will be perfect! Good luck with the pattern shop, I’m ready to ‘play’!
“The uploader has not made this video available in your country.” What? I guess what happens in Australia, stays in Australia. I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out.
great quilt and love this song!
