Well I do have new stuff to show you, but that can wait. Instead I am linking up with Amy's fabulous Blogger's Quilt Festival. So welcome to everyone and anyone who may have only popped by for that very reason.
I have looked back over the last 6 months or so, and have indeed finished a few full sized quilts, but this time I wanted to revisit one of my favourite Minis.
I loved making for my partner in Brit Quilt Swap 2 this summer. I was determined to make something a little different, and Dark Side of the Pond was sewn...
I machine-pieced 4 of Wendy Hill's Arrowheads from 99 Modern Blocks, using scraps that matched my partner's great taste. All those Y-seams meant I was prepared for a complete fail, but no! They all came out perfectly; I bet I couldn't do it again though!

| The perfect Tula Pink Frog Prince took prime position, obviously! |
I hope this little Mini has made you smile. I think I might need to whip up another at some point; I'll add it to my To Do list after I have checked out the awesome quilts that have already linked up.
Thanks so much Amy for getting everyone together again x
Finished quilt measures : 19.5" x 19.5″
Special techniques used : Y-seams and blind faith.
Quilted by : Me - nice 'n' simple straight lines with my walking foot in about 20 minutes.

ReplyDeleteI bet you could do those Y seams again, flawlessly! Beautiful Hadley and great quilt to show off!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice, my friend!
ReplyDeleteFestival worthy for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt! Especially your choice of quilting :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it's STILL one of my favourite quilts from the last year. I think you need to do a "Wall"-inspired "Pink Frogged" piece as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have that book and I so need to use it more.
Definitely a great choice for BQF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love how the triangle looks like it is tumbling off the quilt :)
ReplyDeleteThe frog prince certainly makes a perfect appearance.
