After my successful Union Jack top finish yesterday, I spent last night chopping into my scraps and new solids for the Brit Quilt Swap.
The chevrons won the vote, so I figured if I cut the right number of each colour, then if I didn't like it, I'd still be able to go ahead and make it random anyway. So what do you think?
I had to post it on flickr straight away last night, even though I usually try to post on here first, but I couldn't wait, sorry! The colours are a bit 'out' in the picture, but you can see where it's going.
Initial reaction has been good - but I'm still not saying if my partner commented or not. However, I want to stick with the chevrons and get sewing - there are over 180 little pieces in this mini quilt!
And as if this isn't a great end to a great week already... it's half term!! We also have an inset day on the 6th, and I am off work again on the 8th for a trip with nursery to Drusillas Zoo Park. I love my children!
Pretty cool. I'm amazed you created a skull like that without curved piecing. That's skill.
ReplyDeleteHalf term - out of routine. Yippee! Enjoy your kids. I always enjoy mine more when I don't have to constantly be on their backs keeping them on schedule. Hope we get 'holiday weather' like we did in April!
ReplyDeleteNo half term here, just a bank holiday! Have fun! Jxo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the holidays with your kids give the rest of us a chance to catch up.
