Weekend sewing ....


Over the weekend I put the triangles and strips together for my star quilt....  


It was made using left over Jelly Roll strips from Ocean Deep quilt (plus some extra strips) and of course background fabric 

It is the backing for Ocean Deep which I have shown before.... a double sided quilt.


I just need wadding and time to finish it off - I think it will be a lovely masculine quilt to have

Then I prepared sewing for ChooseDay.  I am working with scraps and make such a mess with them all over that I prefer to have them cut and ready for sewing

This is my little pile - on the Bottom are two BlockHeads blocks and in the packets are the little blocks for My Small World.  I had a few doors to hand sew so I got them done and put in the packets.


TV time has brought out the Dutch Treat blocks again....  this one was quite fiddly with those tiny little triangles ……


I also put in the last stitches of Sophie the Social Butterfly for my Angel Story quilt


Righto, Gotto Go... Monday looms....

  3. That will be a fantastic quilt with the Star backing but I don't know which side I like best.
    Good pile ready for Chooseday sewing, have fun.
    You have more patience than me doing those small reverse applique DT blocks.
    Sophie is sweet.....
