A week ago I decided to join in, I knew immediately I saw the first few blocks appearing on twitter/instagram that resistance was going to be completely futile and jumped in feet first.
So 36 fabrics pulled, excluding the reds, darker blues, and also some of my outright favourites that I've kept for best, and off I went!
If this is all new to you, this tute, this flickr group and this hashtag are all you need, and a big bit of floor space...
Easy blocks that come together nicely; I have even managed to get 6 more finished this evening, having packed up Christmas, done the washing, ironing and sorted all the school bags, PE kits, uniforms and lunch boxes this afternoon. I was shattered, but I really wanted to increase my block count to 30...
I am resisting, but yours look amazing. My stash has been sorted today, in theory in preparation for building works but...the littlest one starts preschool this week!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look wonderful in these fabrics - I think I may have enough to do a DS one too!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, I can see why you got sucked in!
ReplyDeleteResistance IS futile - mine starts tomorrow. *rollseyes* Lovely use of the DS!
ReplyDeleteLooks great...and you're quicker than me! Bah!
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely! And perfect for the FAL list.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been super productive so far, good luck with the rest of it!
ReplyDeleteI think you only started it so you could have something on your FAL list!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking good though....but don't you want it a bit bigger??
I've said it already, but it's worth saying agai, it's absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely version!
ReplyDeleteHadley- I had been avoiding this one, as I have quite enough on my plate already, but look at yours, follow the links, and I think I have to have a go. I am not at all sure if I love you more than before or am trying my best ( fail) to go off you!
ReplyDeleteAnyway- I think you hooked me in.Oh dear.
thanks!
They're addictive aren't they? Jxo
ReplyDeleteThese work so well in the DS fabrics, will be fab!
ReplyDeleteStop it, stop it, stop it!
ReplyDeleteI've managed to resist this so far (okay so I've been too sick to sew) and now here you are showing off your DS collection scrappy trip along! I've been collecting too (from some of the same sources!) And you are just being a bad influence tempting me to crack open my collection and make a quilt as fab as yours is going to be!
Stop it! You hear?!
Its looking fabulous. Bet you have it done in no time!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the prettiest I've seen. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so lush!!!
ReplyDeletethose are stunning! Im having trouble catching this trend because of the all overness - they're gorgeous, but just not me... this one though, this one I can get into -- its gorgeous and they compliment each other beautifully -- cant wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteIt's GORGEOUS! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is one of my favs of the whole group.
ReplyDeleteGet this app PHOTO TRANSFER. You can tranfer photos from the iphone to the computer and I am pretyy sure it works for ipad too. You can also upload directly to Blogger from your iphone. But you probably already know that. Blogger app.
I'm resisting. I think your fabrics and colours look beautiful. A great way to use Denise Schmidt fabric with their small scale patterns.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking awesome Hadley!!
ReplyDeleteFor future reference on the Ipad photo thing (I have the same issue!) If the photos you want to blog are all on Instagram then you can actually share these with Flickr once instagram knows your flickr deets. Then you can put them in your blog post by going to the photo on Flickr, clicking "share" then copying and pasting the html code into your blog post. If the photo doesn't appear straight away then don't worry, just click over the the html screen then straight back to compose. That should make it appear and you can centre it from there.
Easy peasy once you are in a rythym & then you can still blog without syncing all your technology :)
Hope that helps

I'm stealing that gem, i figured there was a way to get your photos from Flickr to blog, i just hadn't had the energy to figure it out, Thx! : )
DeleteIt looks brilliant in the DS. Well done you, so much done so quickly.
ReplyDeleteI've done one like this (mine had a black fabric running though he diagonal ) aren't they lovely. You've used really calming fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks so beautiful- just so girlie and pretty, I'm finding it hard to resist all of these projects, but i am still resisiting, just!!!! : )
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. I absolutely adore Denyse Schmidt's fabrics, such a good choice. I've done four blocks but have decided to wait before I make more as I have a 'to do' list as long as my arm that I have to tackle first. Can't wait to get back to it though, so much fun to make these blocks.
ReplyDeletelove it!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the scrappytripalong quilt blocks, but I MUST NOT catch the bug. Far far too much to finish as it is. Yours does look wonderful, though....
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous! I am resisting until I have my must do projects finsihed, this is killing me!!
ReplyDeleteWow...amazing. Well done! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - the nicest one I've seen! I'm sure you must have more hours in your day than I have, otherwise you have to be moving at the speed of light to get all that done!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of work for the craft it forward...... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOooooh it's gorgeous, I love your fabric choices, it's going to be a total stunner
ReplyDeleteThis is the PERFECT project for these lovely fabrics. You smarty pants you.
