On a roll


Another one finished that I also quilted last year but just needed the binding doing. This is a French Braid using a Creative Grids ruler - it was good fun to do but I ended up with long strips of braid and decided to chop them up a bit instead of having long rows. This was my first quilt on Nessie using rulers - well, I had the extended base but didn't have any rulers so Mark found me a huge block of hard perspex - I struggled a bit - couldn't get any of my stitching in the ditch.... it was a good learning curve though and I've got a few rulers to try out now - just need some time....

February finish


I quilted this last year on Nessie but have just finished the binding. I wanted to bind it in brown but could I find the fabric?!

Blocks


Even if I say so myself, I am pretty impressed with the size of this pile of blocks! But, even more impressive for me, they are not still sitting on my ironing board - they are all together in a finished top! It can't go on Ness yet though as I have another top to quilt first....

Finished in February


The pattern is Turning Twenty. I was not overly impressed with the pattern when I made it - it's alright but I wouldn't rush back. It was a good practice top for Nessie though as I quilted a different pattern in all the different block sizes. Finished just in time for the snow forecast for later today...
