2018 Wk 14 - Easter Weekend - 3

Today I have spent a lovely day pressing, cutting, speed dating, sewing, pressing, sewing . . . And made this


It’s called a Fortyniner quilt.  I started with three 7x7 squares, and then cut two of them into triangles.  The binding will be the same turquoise as the diamond. Quilting and trimming are needed before the binding but for once I have actually made exactly what I bought the fabric for!

There was a lot of speeding dating / auditioning - I do sometimes wonder if I overthink these things!,
  

In an ideal world I would have been in Ireland this weekend  - on "reatreat" at Jackie’s, but the flights over Easter were so expensive so we both sat at home and sewed alone - sharing in-progress photos

She made these two baby quilts


And finished this incredible crochet


Hope you had a good Easter xx
