Feeling the heat in London today but also feeling the love after the birth of Prince George - hearty congratulations to all :)
So I went a looking in my stash tonight and came across this fat quarter (which I've had for ages and can't even remember where I purchased it!)
I decided to make a quilt out of it combined with some scrappy charm squares and whatever else takes my fancy.
I cut and sewed a bit tonight in my sewing room (loft) after the sun went down but it's so muggy up there, I've given up ... but here's where I'm up to:
It really is a surprise quilt:
1) I didn't know I was going to make it until 830pm tonight
2) I have no pattern or finished size in mind
3) I don't know who I'm making it for
Note to self: if you are going to leave your FW blocks on the floor, don't be surprised to turn around and find Nell playing with them!
Linking up with Lee @ Freshly Pieced - WIP Wednesday
Ooh your farmer's wife blocks are so awesome. What size are you making? I'm working on one also but I think mine will be lap size as I don't want to do the ones with templates. Your other quilt is lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteThat fat quarter fabric is gorgeous! Missing my sewing machine :( Two nights at home between trips to see rellies and holiday, and my sewing room is like an oven in this hot weather. *sigh*....
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little free sew time to get the juices flowing. Looks great. Nell approved:)
ReplyDeleteI think plan as you go quilts are my favorite ones to work on. You don't have to worry about following directions because there are none and the outcome is a surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt very nice when you go through your stash and find something you'd forgotten about. It's said Creativity comes from need, bit falso from improvisation.
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing, I look forward to seeing the finished quilt
ReplyDeleteI love making surprise quits. =)
ReplyDeleteLove random quilts where you don't know where you are going. It's like a palate cleanse. Question of the day, do the Royals have last names? Just wondering..
ReplyDeleteLoving the cat cameo! Someone was feeling cheeky...
ReplyDeleteLove your kitty! I need a quilting buddy like that.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what comes of your surprise wip.
Creativity does not have to have a reason ( or someone who you are making the quilt for )! Just let it flow!!! ;-)

Perhaps the cat ought to have the surprise quilt to keep her off the wips?!?
