Highs and Lows...

Story of my week really!

I have spent the best part of today in the car, sewing, whilst dear son was on a school enrichment course; thank goodness for Spring Carnival!


As promised a couple of days ago, I have Bee blocks to show you. 

For the second round of Brit Bee, Fiona requested low volume blocks, to resemble an old and well-loved quilt, with inset, predominately FMF, traditional blocks.

My first block had to be a Constellation star - not 100% traditional, but Fiona loved it!  The HSTs finished up at 3/4" each, or thereabouts.



For my second block I went a bit bolder, and to be honest, simpler with a green seed Whirlwind block.


Both blocks measure 12.5" square.

The low value fabrics are all from Fiona's collection of favourites, oldies and most precious, which she entrusted to us to fulfil her vision.

I think Fiona is going to end up with a smashing quilt xxx

  14. Just when I think you've reached the pinnacle with the Constellation block you take it up a notch! Has Katy seen it yet?!! Wow, it's amazing! (I love the other block too, wouldn't want it to feel left out!) Your EPP is looking great and at this rate you'll be finished by the start of the summer holidays!
    P.S. I'm assuming school enrichment is for G&T children? Did he enjoy it?
