Ta dah!!!!! I love this quilt rather a lot, last year when i was still working i would wake up uber early in the morning, usually in a cold sweat .... and I would sooth myself by reading about all the lovely sew alongs which were going on, I would be wistful thinking "when I retire I am going to do all the sewalongs!" And this was the first, the sewcialites a free SAL from the Fat Quarter shop this is the third i think.
The blocks come in 3 sizes so I chose the middle size the 6.5 inch block. First thing I noticed was how bad my piecing had become! I think I have been doing so much FPP I really needed this discipline to get back into more accurate piecing.
Above are my first few blocks and below are some of my last blocks. I used a scrappy grey background just using up loads of grey FQs, the main prints were just a nice random selection from the stash, some FQs which had been hanging around for a while, a nice eclectic bunch.Much umming and awing over the layout and I can see that from the layout above to the layout below I mispieced one of the sections, a star in the lower left quadrant is going in the wrong direction ... ach with a quilt this busy who will notice!!!
So thats it done, that itch for the SALs has been well and truly scratched! and another thing ticked off the fettle list!
It’s wonderful! Hooray for finishes *waves pompoms*
