Double delight fabrics

my fabrics arrived in good time, I ordered them from Kim at:





http://www.aaaquilterssupply.com/



I am looking forward to using them in Bonnie Hunter's double delight, it was a mystery but I have peeked and really like it.
No idea when it will be finished, but I intend to enjoy the journey.

Bonnie's new design - Double delight

this fabric is what I have chosen to work with - will use it as the border and because of that decided to change the indigos to greens in the quilt top.

Hopefully this fabric will work as the chocolate brown in this mystery.

This is the fabric I chose to use for the gold/cheddar

All others in this mystery will be from my scraps

Orange Crush setting

Having seen Julia in Perth's straight setting I decided to rearrange some blocks to that setting , took a photo in the poor lighting we have at night and will decide tomorrow which way to finally set the blocks together.

Am thinking I like the lattice effect of the diagonal lines rather than the straight.

These blocks are just roughly pinned, wanted to do it while the setting was fresh in my mind.

If by chance you happen to see this before I finally decide on the setting please leave me a comment.

Just as an aside this is how I cope without a design wall, have the foam panels from packaging around a fridge and simply lean them against something - in this instance it is a cupboard and the back door.

Sisters choice

Deb K. used the Sisters Choice block for her recent online mystery, my quilt is not set the way Deb did her mystery, as I have done a straight set.

Love the fabric for the border, it looks good in real life so might take a close up photo so that you can see it better too.

Used another two blocks as pockets for a shopping bag for my sister - who else ... LOL

For the quilt I purchased the border print, the green used for cornerstones and everything else came from the stash.

I can post the photos of the bag now because Sharon has received it.

Today I am wanting to finally finish quilting the baby quilt for Noah.

Then a naturopath appt for me followed by a doctor's appt for DH ... so off I go!

orange crush

My ordered fabrics arrived!!

I also had ordered this foundation paper pieced pattern, there was just the one pattern left in stock - so now I feel like I have won the lottery!!!

Intend to use my leftovers from the two crush quilts to make the FPP quilt

Orange Crush

These are my very scrappy 4 patches for the mystery.

Two options for any more 4 patches - 1 is the Cathedral Stars another one of Bonnie Hunters designs, and the 2nd is for another 150 in case I get the blue fabric which is in a previous post - the package from the internet shop has not arrived yet .. patience, patience ... LOL

Orange Crush fabrics

These are the fabrics I ordered for my Orange Crush mystery

quilt, have had notification that they were posted on Friday.

The stripes are for the border.

There is just too much eye candy on the web! - now I have seen a fabric that I like which I feel would be great for a blueberry crush ... sigh

What's a girl to do???

quilting

My fabrics for the new Bonnie Hunter mystery have been ordered but not yet arrived so may not be able to start on April 1st, no matter - my Carolina Crossroads is still in the blocks stage - mostly because that project is at home - and I am not!

However this week the mariners compass top arrived safely at Lisa and Roy's place - Blackbird Quiltery for them to quilt.

There is a link to the quiltery in the sidebar - check them out to see the wonderful quality of their work.
