I finally received a delivery of white fleece so prepped a whole load of flimsies for quilting:
A spare Children's quilt (probably going to Linus Quilts)
The EPP Elongated Pentagon Plus Quilt
And then I got to quilting! The children's quilts aren't very exciting, but I'm rather chuffed with the Hexie Rounds: Lizzie did the first 8" of spiral which is the really hard bit, and then I took over and went out to the edges
I used the same Lizzie spiral on the plus quilt. No need for me to carry on, the 8" was perfect.
I wondered whether to do every centre and have them overlapping but I halved the work and just did alternate ones. I need to visit a shop to get the right binding for this one, so it'll be a while!
The girls and I attended an on-line painting party, I'm not sure we are made to be painters but it was a great evening!
My current hand sewing project is Windsor Castle again. I didn't like some of the tree designs, so I'm unpicking and replacing with smaller more random stitches

This quilt found a good home with a colleague's daughter for her 10th birthday
The Australian hexies and stars quilt top has been quilted, has had borders added and has had the binding finished. Annoyingly the latest delivery of black isn't the same shade of black as the one I used as the infill border - cant be helped as I cant go to a shop and compare: at least it's finished!
