BOM catch ups......

My Favourite Things quilt top has been finished a while and the deadline for the finished quilt is looming..... Chookyblue is cracking the whip at us SAL gals - and we have less than 50 sleeps to go.... since I am going away in less than 20 sleeps the pressure is on!!!!

I have been procrastinating about the backing but finally the decision is made....


I'm making it..... 

Using up the left over fabric from the quilt and some additional metreage I had already from the same colours ......

I know I won't get the deadline..... that's a bit negative thinking but it is highly unlikely... but I'll give it my best shot.....

Meanwhile my evening TV stitching has been the July and August blocks of Harrington & Hannah... the free BOM from Michelle at Raspberry Rabbits....


don't we all need some free wishes every now and then?


the bees are loving springtime at the moment

I was so pleased with myself for having caught up... then the September block came out.... she is keeping me busy is our bunny loving Shell......

This is what all the blocks look like so far...... (minus September.... !!!!)


I was looking for some eyes... I couldn't find them.... so I bought some more... then I found them.... so now I have lots.... so I put them in a glass jar... so I wouldn't lose them again... they are watching me....


Righto, Gotto Go... the eyes are looking...... (creepy huh?)

I saw the new block this morning. You've done well to keep up, and they are looking good. It's really interesting seeing how everybody's blocks look so different

I hope you make it hon, I think you can do it...love your blocks so much, I need to print mine off and get busy, too many great projects to do! YES your eyes are creepy, lol.

Cheryll said...

Great blocks Fiona. Now you won't have to look over your shoulder... those eyes already are.... ! :)

Jeanette said...

I'm sure you'll make it with SKOW. I've finally got all Shell's block caught up, by that i mean prepared even Septembers. Now to stitch most of them. :) Your blocks look great together. Those eyes are a bit creepy so i'm going now. :) Hugs,

Your bunnies are so very cute Bubz...and I need to move on my SKOW as well....

Susan said...

Oh gosh - how funny about those eyes - and all the comments - I was going to say the "eyes' have it but got beaten to the punch . The bunnies are so cute. I still have a few strips to put together for SKOw and then to quilt...(oh the pressure!!)I think a pieced backing is a great idea - else you end up with more stash.

I am sure you can get an extension seeing as you are going away? The pieced back will be great. Your bunny blocks look gorgeous. Great going!
Don't make eye contact...

Hello Fiona,

50 sleeps, that is coming on so quickly. The wool work is so lovely, like that you re-purposed some of it.

Happy stitching.

harrington and Hannah quilt is looking gorgeous, I love the soft blue check you are using, it fits so well

Michelle Ridgway said...

Cute bunnies. Only 20 more sleeps oooeee!

Mistea said...

Hope those eyes have kept you on track this weekend.
As always your projects look amazing - pieced backing works but sometimes it is nice to go with an easy option!
Enjoy those bunnies - you're hopping with them.

Karen said...

Good luck with the backing and the deadline. Great idea to piece the backing. What else would you use that fabric for anyway? :)
I am impressed with all the bunny blocks. That is going to look great, too.
So do you feel like all the eyes in the jar are following you around the room?
