Firstly I finished Stanley...
Then, as I had sorted out all my scraps on Sunday, in a timely fashion Aneela Hoey, oh lovely lady of the Sherbet Pips, posted about starting a crazy scrappy quiltalong - so I obviously had to sign up!
There's a linky somewhere on the left if you are interested. The idea is to make 11" squares, but I am going to work with 6" ones, as many of my scraps are too teensy, and I am too eagar to to make lots of blocks, see...
Then I noticed that Prints to Polka Dots are doing a pre-order on Sherbet Pips, so I had to order some yardage to go with my charm packs; be quick people, the pre-order option is only open until Wednesday.
Then Lynne at Lily's Quilts posted the start of a tutorial for her Big Little George.
This is Lynne's 'example' so goodness know what sort of paper-pieced mess I am going to get into!
But up for a challenge, I got cutting and piecing and stitching and swearing and unpicking and re-stitching and eventually ended up with this...
OK, so the children were lucky to be fed, and dearest hubby feels like a total sewing-widow, but sometimes you have to go with the urge!
Love your crazy scrappy squares!
ReplyDeleteI saw Aneela's post too and would love to have a go, each block will be so different. Thx for the tip on Sherbert Pips btw :o)

You have a great eye for colour - just love the squares! The orange ones you've just blogged about are gorgeous too. I've linked here from the S&P Facebook page - hope that's okay?
