Hope you are not sick of this quilt

I finished Peter's quilt and took some photos outside! Hope you are not sick of looking at it.

Something Different

My outrigger club had it's regatta on the weekend. Crews from all over NSW came to compete. It was a great weekend!! Here are a couple of photos of my crew racing.

I am paddling in position 4 in the long sleeve rashie. We are very lucky to have such a great place to paddle.

NearlyDone

I thought I should post some photos of Peters quilt now in case I don't have a chance before we fly to Perth. I took these photos with my computer to make it quicker and easier but not sure if they really show how great this fabric looks!

I couldn't resist taking one of Rhani

Peties Quilt ready to be quilted

I am really happy with how this quilt worked out. I was a little worried that it would be too boring but the fabric looks great.

Here is a close up of the fabric. I used the Building Blocks Baby Quilt pattern on Moda Bakeshop by Cindy Lammon of Hyacinth Quilts.
Now to quilt it!

Awesome Prize

I won a Prize!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Lynne at Lilys Quilts. I won this amazing bundle from Fort Worth Fabrics. It is gorgeous. I love the coordinating solids with the prints and the prints are gorgeous. What to do with it. First I have to finish something to have an empty tub or basket. I have UFOs everywhere but usually contained in a plastic tub or fabric basket..
Some quilts I want to make are
Coin quiltalong from Don't call me Betsy
Hug and Kiss Quilt
Preppy the Whale
charming star
tumbler quilt

I will have to think about it while I finish a project or two. Hopefully I will see a pattern and know it is perfect!

WIP

I have been working on grungy gran which I cant show in case mum reads my blog before I go to Perth. I can show my other WIP because I know my brothers do not read this blog.
I am using the Building Blocks Baby Quilt pattern on Moda Bakeshop by Cindy Lammon of Hyacinth Quilts. I am doing 40 blocks for a bigger quilt although it wont be nearly big enough for my over 6 foot brother. I am using a layer cake of modern background ink. I think it is manly enough! It looks a lot better than the photo shows. When finished I will get a better one.

zebras and improv

A couple of finishes to show today.

I finished my zebra. I unpicked the pink and replaces it with beige which is hard to see in this photo. I will try and get a better one. The block is a freebie from sew fresh quilts. I turned him into a cushion because you can never have enough cushions

I did my first improv block!! I have always thought I would never do an improv quilt. I like them but just didn't think they were me until I saw the quilts over at Twiggy and Opal. I love her improv quilts especially the sand sea and ocean bed runner and the motion of the ocean quilts which I plan to shamelessly copy.

i finished this a while ago but didn't post a picture so here it is on my wall!
