Thankyou for all the well wishes for my poorly boy last week. He is all better now and back to school, along with his sister. The house always seems so quiet, the first few days after a holiday, without them. I’m left at home with the mess!
You can see the remains of my second breakfast, eaten at my desk while I had another look at how the quilt blocks go together.
The book is by Pam and Nicky Lintott and there are some wonderful quilts in it. I decided to start with this fairly straightforward design, which I think will work just as well with the bright colours I have. All the strips have been cut now. I just need to sort the remainder into pairs for the four patch blocks, so there is a good contrast.
I’m off to tackle some of that mess, before I settle down with a coffee and visit some interesting and inspirational desks.
PS If any of you WOYWWers are interested in finding out whether your work has been ‘pinned’ to the boards on Pinterest, there are simple instructions in Friday’s post on how to do it.

That's a nice quilt pattern. My friend owns a quilt shop, and I love to go in and see all the beautiful colors of the fabric, especially the Batiks.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteJelly roll quilts? I've seen the rolls, but I hadn't really thought about the results.

I love the slightly assymetric look of this - I've never thought of quilt making because cutting straight lines (even with a specialist tool) is beyond me. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a second breakfast! Glad your boy is back to school and leaving you to get on with your quilt ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely cosy quilt you've picked, Have a great week, Hugs May x x x

Happy Quilting! that looks like a fabulous pattern. Perhaps one to try in paper???
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
So, I'm not a seamstress - but I just love those jelly rolls! Every time I'm in JoAnns I can't help but walk down the fabric aisles. Sometimes I even buy a bit of fabric! The quilt looks like a great project.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Gah, if only I could be patient enough to make something do lovely, it would cause me to rush out and buy masses of jelly rolls, I just love the look of them! So well done on all the prep, am looking forward to being a bit jealous about the result! And who knew...people pinning some of our desks!!
ReplyDeleteA little late visiting.. love the quilt you picked out it'll be nice to see it when you finish.
ReplyDeleteLovely quit. Fab book too. Hope you enjoy this week's snoop around the creative desks for WOYWW. I'm still nosing, I know it's Friday, but I will get to everyone! Take care Zo xx 81
ReplyDeleteSo what colours will yours be? It's going to look fab, and you definitely have more patience than me.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the Boy is better (LOL) and you have peace once more, much the same here, now half term is over.
Have to say I always love visiting your blog simply because of your header photo - it always make me feel summery!
