I was planning on sewing down the binding on my Cherry Christmas quilt, but I think that will have to wait until tomorrow now! Yep, I got the most fluffy fleece blanket along with the groceries at Tesco yesterday - it measured about 2" all round bigger than my quilt top; (I had to look up my blog post for the measurements and a metric to Imperial converter on my phone), but the perfect colour, a beautiful teal, and only £12, it was a no-brainer...
And as the kids were over at their friends' for tea, I got on and pin-basted(!) it and quilted it all before they were picked up at 6pm. So there will be a Christmas reveal some time soon!
Other things to show you...
Little felt cupcakes made with the Rainbows tonight...
... less painful than I was expecting, and I will be back there in a fortnight.
I whipped up a key fob earlier in the week for dear son's friend to go with her zippy pouch...
More blocks have been coming in for my Stitch Tease LV Scrap Vomit. These from Katy...
Di also sent me some DS Quilts fabric I'd asked her to track down for me, from JoAnns...
What would we do without super friends, and Paypal!?
And finally, I whipped up a couple of blocks for the Bee Blessed ladies...
Busy week really!
I love the teal blanket. It will be super fluffy and soft to snuggle in. It is a mess cutting it but it is worth it! This will be a great finish

ReplyDeleteOooh, fluffy blankets you say? Hmm, off to hunt round Tesco...

Sounds like a nice week in spite of it all.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm definitely going to check out Tesco's. The scrap vomit is growing beautifully. Love your other makes as well.

ReplyDeleteBlocklicious!
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy! love the teal backing, I'm betting it will make it extra snuggly, looking forward to any advice you have on using it, as I have a minky blanket from Tescos too for only a few pounds, which i want to use as a backing for one of the baby blankets I'm working on! x
ReplyDeleteLove the teal blanket. I have used those as quilt backings on a few of my quilts-Primary do huge ones for £10
ReplyDeleteThat backing looks perfect and so snuggly! And there's some gorgeous blocks and quilt top there. You have had a busy week :-) PS Can't wait to see your Christmas Quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThe felt cupcake looks fab! Well jel of the DS prints, I wish we had Joann's over here. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think that you should ask Tesco for some sponsorship as I'll be having a look next time I'm in there too! ! Wouldn't it be nice to have a Joann's/spotlight over here? Oh well, at least we have dealers!;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's always lovely catching up with you and all your lovely projects. Glad everything arrived safely.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your quilt! I am in the great debate for my turn as queen. Since I didn't get on the Scrap Bandwagon I am in the great debate....UGH!
