Hello Dear Reader,


I’m late tonight. I’ve been working like a woman possessed on my dad’s quilt.


It was taken at ten this evening, in the dark and the colours are far lovelier than the photo suggests. I hope you can see the pattern emerging of 2″ blocks for the sashing, with 1″ stripes at the intersections. There’s a way to go yet with six more scrappy 12″ blocks to make, along with more checks and stripes. it contains remnants of all the quilts I have made so far.


Most of the fabric for this quilt has been donated. I can see, shirts, a duvet cover and off cuts of someone else’s quilting projects. I can see remnants of fat quarters I bought at the quilting show. I’ve got bags of bits and bobs to use up and the predominant colour of this quilt is blue with fragments of a few other colours thrown in. I have a wonderful collection of red fabrics for the backing and plenty of red and white for the edging.


I’ll keep you up to date with my scrappy quilt as the week progresses and my preparations for my quilting workshop on Saturday. It’s going to be a wonderfully busy week.


Until tomorrow,


Love Froogs
