Think Pink!
Every so often ... as you know by now... I need a pink fix. This little brushed cotton piece of Mary's was so sweet and soft, the flowers just flowed out.
It was so cosy to hold that I just couldn't resist hand sewing the binding on for her as well!
That set me up nicely to start on the first of two quilts for Elaine. Another pleasing colour combination of soft dusty pink and green. The slightly geometric prints and the layout of the pinwheels made me want to do straight lines, rather than curls and flowers. The whole piece was done with rulers and I'm pleased with the swirling effect.
Next up is her version of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, 'En Provence' and that one will be flowery, I think. (My 'En Provence' is still at the bottom of the pile!)
Meanwhile, I have been whittling down my 'crumb drawer' and I have been string piecing on to phone book paper strips and squares.
My box is bulging and I'm saving them up for a charity quilt (or two).
How satisfying is that?
Happy Quilting Everyone!
Janet
