I find that writing this blog each morning is helpful for loosening up the brain and today I am going to show you my latest project, well I have two really. One is called Vintage Rouge and is a block of the month and I am hoping the first block will turn up today. Here is the finished quilt -
Lovely and pink. Here is the first block of which I need to make four -
And here it is finished and quilted up -
I think they are the first blocks away from the centre medallion. I love the fabrics, but of course you can't really tell the colours on the net.
I have found instructions for easier piecing on a lovely website in the States, this started in May 2012 and the blogger is going to put on instructions for each month - it is a 6 month block of the month.
I am also going to make two more twisted bags, as in the day class I attended. I will take a photo of the almost finished one and put it here. I woke up this morning thinking how to improve it, and I do think that incorporating the lining into the quilting is the way to go. Anyway, will give it a go with 10 inch rather than 6 inch squares to make a much bigger bag. Photo later. I am looking for a lovely layer cake (40 ten inch squares of co-ordinating fabric that will make two bags) to use for the bigger bag and when I find it I will let you know.
