It is such a lovely huge size that I was in fear of it becoming a bit like Mr Twit's beard! And because some of you asked so nicely...
After all the family-type business of the day, party drop-offs and a trolley dash round Tesco, I got on with the things I needed to get done, namely finalising my second Sizzix design, in the loosest sense of the word, and then cutting all the pieces...
I made one block up, after I had cut all the pieces, just to make sure it looked OK, I think it works...
On a roll, I then stitched and pressed the rest of the 100 HSTs too. Even with the very loose weaved fabrics, those HSTs were perfect every time.
It is going to be a very white quilt top, but as balance to my mega-patterned #scrappytripalong, it is quite a refreshing must-make!
So that's my day, we are now going to relax and watch a DVD, well once the kids stop running about upstairs.
Oh please let it snow in the night so I can shove them out the door at dawn!
Oh I love that scarf!cute!
ReplyDeleteBring on the snow. And loving that test block!
ReplyDeleteI am wishing for no snow. Sorry. Scarf looks great though!
ReplyDeleteThe block looks great! Pretty funky scarf, too!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the white in your new quilt top, looks fabulous. You lot are obsessed with snow, i've got my fingers crossed until after tomorrow, as Rob is off to Slovakia and if it snows he might not go, and then i wont get to do so much sewing! Selfish or what.
ReplyDeleteThat was me being selfish by the way, not you! : )
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf and your test block! Hoping for snow...
ReplyDelete100 HSTs, are you *quite* mad?! Looking good though. Your block is my 'to do' for tonight.
ReplyDeleteYou know that that will only come back in all cold and wet! Scarf looks lovely and toasty
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day, except the rain, of course.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf and block look great. We'd be more than happy for rain down here, I've been watching my dams evaporate from the heat we've been receiving.
ReplyDeleteWe'll make a model of you yet my dear! No snow here either! Just flying bottles, bricks & water canon!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteTest block looks awesome, think I'm going to like a lot!
ReplyDeleteTester looks great! No,snow here, dry cold and even a little weak sunshine :). Please no snow !
ReplyDeleteNice scarve, keep it on as the snow will come. If it does, please have our share.
ReplyDeleteIt is silly o'clock here in London and still no snow!
