Testing

I love Eden by Tula Pink. I bought a fat quarter bundle in the Amethyst colour way from the fat quarter shop. Then I bought a fat quarter bundle of all fabric from massdrop. I am planning to make my first queen size quilt. I have ordered 1 yard of this crouching tiger fabric from connecting threads so I figured I could experiment with quilt blocks. I love this. The block finishes at 16 inches and the centre is large enough to feature the tiger.

Triangle challenge

I have finished the middle of my quilt for Pat Sloan's triangle challenge and love how it looks.  I added an extra block to the rows and added an extra row so it should the right size for a lap quilt once I add the borders.

Triangle Challenge

I have decided to join Pat Sloan's second triangle challenge. I love the Dandoy Delight pattern and have decided to try a bigger 4 x 4 version using some of my Australian fabrics. There is a very good chance I will not make the deadline but it is worth a shot.

Not quite finished

I thought this was a finish but have decided it is not. The pattern is from the across the sea quiltalong. I added extra blocks so I thought this was a finish. Now I have had some time to look at it, I think I will add the border after all.

I used Kate Spain Horizon which is gorgeous as all Kate Spain fabric is.

Austin modern quilt

I finished my top of my Austin Modern Quilt by Carolina squirrel and I love it. It was a great pattern to put together and it looks great. It finishes at 50 x 60 so is a good size too. Not sure when I will actually quilt it but I think straight line quilting will work with this design so I should be able to quilt it myself.

cushion

I made this for a friends son. He is studying architecture and loves orange so buildings with an orange binding seems perfect. He has made me two great quilt racks so I wanted to make him something.

fabric pull

These are the fabrics I have decided to use for my Austin Modern quilt. I was limited as I don't have a lot of yardage but I found these which should go with my Eden fat quarter bundle bought to make quilts etc for the master bedroom.

May is for makers

I am going to join the May is for makers campaign started by Lindsey at LRstitched.




My first buy is the Austin Modern quilt pattern from Carolinasquirrel. I love it and cant wait to start it. Some colours need more than a fat quarter so I will probably have to wait! I am going to go through my stash later today.
