Sneak Peek

A sneak peek at my next project, another string quilt.  Cant give too much away yet but I have made lots of string sets in black/white and hot pink.


Which will be turned into diamond blocks like this.


I will share more on this on the coming weeks as the quilt top progresses.

Apart from strings I have been working feverishly to catch up on my bee obligations for this month.

I made 2 paper pieced stars using the same pattern.  One for Queen Kelly in rainbow colours.


And one for me in my own colourway (green, grey and white).


And in another bee group Queen Rose requested black/red/white granny square blocks.


I had to make these blocks twice.  Thought I was clever and knew how to make Granny blocks.  When I finished I discovered our queen wanted four rounds.  Of course I made blocks with three rounds so had to start again.  Note to self.....always, always, always read the instructions before starting a block!

And finally, I finished Round 2 Supernova block.  It was my partners turn to chose our inspiration colour this month and she chose green.  I am so glad she did because I love green and have heaps of in in my stash.


I just hope my block is not too green.  I probably should have put a bit more contrast in this but l love it and I think it will go nicely with the lilac block from last month.  I can't wait to get my partner's block to see how they all play together.

Until next time.
