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!

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.

Finally have the borders on the cobblestone quilt made with coffee coloured fabrics.

Dad is holding the quilt top and he quite likes it so maybe this one won't be going too far once it is finished ;-))

coffee anyone? quilt top

these are the cobblestone blocks sewn together - was too anxious to see what they looked like so took the photo before pressing the top!

Started cutting the strips today for the bargello bowl quilt, have been checking out the op shops for cotton shirts - most here are a mixture of cotton and polyester, have found some cotton shirts though probably not yet enough to get sufficient variety for this quilt.

have been playing around with some cobblestone blocks today, coffee and cream.

Think I'll add a small black border followed by a wider cream one.

This will be a donation quilt for the spinal injuries unit.

mariners compass

My husband had always wanted a mariners compass quilt esp as he was in the Royal Navy.
I never did manage to make him one but found this top for sale on the net.
Needs to be quilted and then it will be done.
It has been on the back of the recliner that he sits in so he has been able to enjoy it.
