Homework and a sewing day with the Tuesday girls has resulted in a few more blocks for my sampler quilt
These are 6" blocks and from the book Sylvia's Bridal Sampler
 |
| Corn and Beans (48 pieces) |
 |
| Dove in the Window (49 pieces) |
 |
| Double Nine Patch (49 pieces) |
 |
| Bride's Bouquet (24 pieces) |
 |
| Courthouse Steps (13 pieces) |
I am up to 90 blocks (out of 140) now ....and a total of 2225 pieces sewn together....
I couldn't help placing them out to get an idea of how it will look....
.... and I love it....
Today I ventured out in DD's car (a bit of a heap and with a broken exhaust so I couldn't exactly sneak around quietly!!! haha at least it is transport).. and off I went to The Quilters Angel where I found some perfect paisley backing and lovely fabric for binding for my nine patch....
...it's all pinned now and ready for play...
I sent off a parcel to Christin in Switzerland for the SSCS swap last year
I made a table runner using stars and featuring some 'vintage' style pictures.....
I thought it would look lovely on whatever Christmas setting she might have
I really like the feature print made into stars and think I will do more of that if I can find lovely pictures again
.. and the ornament I sent was on a little 4" hanger and can go on the tree or a wall
Righto, Gotto Go... I'm deciding on some not too fussy quilting for the nine patch quilt.....

Wow how fantastic do all those blocks look!!! I think t he bouquet block is my favourite from this lot
All together they are so amazing, great going Fiona
Beautiful choice of fabric for your backing.
Very sweet swap gifts sent.
OMG your blocks look amazing together.... Well done Fiona....
Nice backing for the nine patch and I am pleased DD bomb made it to Quilters Angel and back...
The fussy cut table runner you made for SSCS looks great and the little angel is sweet.
Those blocks look so beautiful together. I need to make a design wall, would be easier when I am piecing to see them all together. I usually lay mine on the floor and that is a pain.
