All ready for tomorrow

 
The fabrics are all cut for the Impromptu quilt along that starts tomorrow.
I have carefully labelled and bagged all the separate pieces, there are quite a lot.
 

 
I have even cut the backing out as well.
I am using all the leftover fabric from the front.
 
I have done this before with other quilts I have made. In this quilts case because I am using fabric that I have, which are mostly fat quarters I have cut all the spare fabric into 9 1/2 inch squares to join up.
I had to cut 121 squares so I have to find some extra fabric from the stash.
 
Looking forward to starting tomorrow.
Happy Quilting.

Shall we Impromptu Quilt along .....


I am joining the Impromptu Quilt Along that is being organised by Katy at Monkey do. The plan is to use the Impromptu quilt pattern by Rachel Griffiths of ps i quilt.

It is a simple quilt using a layer cake as the starting point but i am going to do a little stash busting so instead of a layer cake i have sorted out a stack of fabrics.

I haven't yet decided whether to use the plain red at the top or the checked red at the bottom. I am using white as the background and will use red for the binding.

So why not join in the fun it all starts on the 1st June. There is a Flickr group for sharing your progress.

Happy Quilting.

Sugar Block Club


The Sugar Block Club is being hosted by Amy Gibson of Stitchery Dickory Dock. It is a block of the month programme that gives you a lovely block to stitch, and also a yummy recipe to make as well.

 

On the first of each month a nice little surprise arrives by email.


I am loving this little project, there is no plan for these blocks you can lay them out however you wish.

 

 I have just finished the May block.



I can't wait for June............Happy sewing.
