September is flying past

 Sorry that this has taken so long to come but sheds have taken precedence.

Elaine and Karen came for our scheduled day together a few weeks ago, Liz was on Zoom. I received a few shadow blocks after our day so we will need to work out where they will go.

Progress so far includes...

Carol's Orange now has its borders added and binding cut but it needs a polar fleece backing. I don't have any to hand so we'll need to buy that in a dark blue or teal I think.


Lots of shadow blocks have come in and our thinking is to make a more adult quilt with the 'favourites in blue/green' combined with some of the brown. The 3.5" blocks at the RH side are random thoughts about using up some squares as a border. The 3 blocks on the left are the extras that we will need to add to either this or the child's quilt.


This is what we have so far for the child's quilt but one or two of them are quite suitable for the more adult one. 


I had so many offcuts of polar fleece that Stephanie and I are in the process of making some 'franken' polar fleece backs for these quilts.



We chose another fabric for our next quilt and I have cut pieces but not sent them out yet. I have not made the trial block to show you either so you will need to be patient.

We thought that the fabric lends itself to a block like the one Jeanette showed us with the pale part of her borders in the pale blue we found in our stash. I'll send this out with the focus fabric. Your job will be to find one of the other darker colours in the fabric (not white or any of the greens and not the yellow either. Good luck.

That is a pretty floral pattern fabric
