I have done the last of my 9 patch swap blocks last week....
These are them all together and they are off in the post to Trish to share out.... thanks Trish.... i am so looking forward to my bundle made by bloggy 9 patchers...
These are so easy to do in strips ... sew the 3 strips together, press, slice and stitch the 3 rows - the points come together well (mostly!).
I am using the left overs plus other fabric from this range (Judie Rothermalls 25th Anniversary) for my Aiming for Accuracy quilt-along blocks seen a couple of posts ago
this is the latest of the A4A blocks

I started this applique last week and just finished these needlecases. They are from Anorina's 52 week Scrap project
(tutorial HERE)
they are so cute it was impossible to stop at one
Anorina is giving us lots of different ideas for using up scraps.... and we've just started so there will be lots more to come!

... and I have finally add the binding to this small quilt (a UFO from last year) with lots of pieces (484 to be exact!) ...
.... which I am calling Organised Chaos ...

...... made from New York Beauty blocks free tutorials on line... (links to the different blocks can be
found HERE)
It's a maroon stripey binding which is not clear in the picture but gives it a bit of a border
An adventure into paper piecing and I had a bit of fun with the quilting... quite heavy so the finished article is stiff....
It's not very big (36" x 29") so will use for a topper and the stiff quilting won't matter....
Righto, Gotto go.... I want to finish prepping the rest of my North Pole blocks and get to work on that
....and some secret stuff which you can't see ....
and it's .....
