Flying High
What a wonderful quilt Jean M has made for her lucky grandson and I had the pleasure of quilting it for her.
Jean had been inspired by the black, white and grey strippy quilt that Studio Quilters made as a group project a couple of years ago and wanted to try a version of her own.
She incorporated several themes and fabrics that would mean something to her grandson. He is going to love it!
Strippy quilts are a nice alternative to sampler quilts. It is a good way of experimenting with different designs and techniques in a single project. That touch of red makes it look so classy.
It was a nice opportunity for me to play with different shapes too. I had fun with this paisley border.
Now that the Connecting Threads Christmas social evening is over, I can show my entry for the 'Recycled Denim' challenge. 
Now I am back to my busy self; with classes starting up again, mentoring beginners, preparing for my workshop on Saturday - I have only just had time to make a last minute contribution for our table at the NSPCC Christmas Fair.
These two little sets of coasters are made from triangles I cut off from the diamonds in Elise's Christmas tree mat.
Well you have to use up the leftovers at this time of year!
Happy Quilting Everyone!

Jeans quilt looks great! My own quilting has been more unpicking! I wish I had waited for you! Xxxx
