A Finish: this is the charity quilt that Scrappy and I made together. I love this (yes, even though it's scrappy) and have suggested to Scrappy that it should stay with me, but she doesn't seem to have heard my hints. Anyway, here it is:
A Middle: this is to be another charity quilt. I used some of the leftovers from the quilt above, and made this very quick and simple quilt. It's all pieced as you can see, but not quilted yet. I like how it's turned out though.
A Beginning: Remember those yummy fabrics I showed you here? Well, now they've turned into lots of dots. Don't they just look gorgeous together. The next bit of this quilt will be the tricky bit. It involves machine applique for a start, which I've never done before. I've had a practice though, and played around with stitch length, tension etc, and found that I can get quite a good result using invisible thread and a small zig-zag stitch. I'd have liked to use a blanket stitch, but my machine doesn't feel that I should, so that is not a stitch option that's offered! Wish me luck with this quilt, it's a challenge on a number of different levels.
As you can tell, I'm having fun again and I really think my quilting mojo, which went AWOL for a few months, has returned.
