Butterflies

 This was featured online this morning in one of the patchwork blogs I follow. So I went upstairs and made one. Take a look at this YouTube link.

Such fun, and they'd be great in silks and lace.

Chocolate Bars - Betty's latest orphan block quilt

 Here is my latest show and tell in the quilt department. I've called it Chocolate Bars.

This one is created from all my "brown" orphan blocks and considering the disparate collection of block designs did not turn out too badly.

If you can think of an owner for this one please let me know.

Elaine's latest - Cat on the Wall

 Elaine came to play today and after finishing her latest RCQ block she helped me with more curtains for upstairs.

Stephanie had come over yesterday and we started cushion covers and curtains too.

Elaine's latest quilt is Cat on the Wall. I think this one is great.

Jeanette's Scrappy Quilt

When Jeanette received her instructions from me about her Briar Rose blocks she realised it was the scrappy quilt she is currently working on. However, she is using 1.5" squares!

I love it, and it looks great with dark lattice too.

A clickable picture of our next block

 As the picture on the instructions I have just written is a bit small I am adding it here. If you click on the picture here you can zoom in and see the stitching and detail.
