A few days ago I assembled the woven blocks quilt, and (since this photo) got the binding machined on, so it just needs the second side hand stitching down. I used a new fleece from Ikea, a lovely marl grey
I'm really pleased with the effect of it, although some seams didn't match too well
I actually had enough fabric that it could have been a bit bigger, but I'd run out of fleece so it stopped at Ikea's standard size: 51x67", but that left me with fabric, and I'm trying to finish project fabrics.
Having enjoyed making the white Sweet Sixteen blocks I decided to start one with the leftover Woven strips
I joined together quite a few strips, pressed them, and cross cut them
I'll need to arrange them a bit more randomly, as my *actually* random attempt has too many fabrics near their twin.
I shall have to used Avril's planned random method - she calls it Randoku - random, but not repeating in a block, column or row!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
