UFOs

Here's a list of my unfinished Objects (quilts only this time so as to not be too daunting)
I have big hopes of finishing the bulk of these up, in the near future, as well of course of starting some new things.
  1. Spring Jazz -- it is at the sandwich stage. Needs quilting, I have an idea about what I would like the quilt pattern to be -- something with jags that runs across the quilt, which reflects or mirrors, but not exactly, the pattern of the blocks.
  2. Quilt with no name -- needs a binding and a hanging sleeve (I guess) both of which I am all in a dither about. I have no backing fabric to make the hanging sleeve, so what to do? I am leaning toward some sort of green for the binding and with a little work I should be able to pick one.
  3. Crown of Thorns (more or less) wall hanging -- needs to be made into a sandwich. I have fabric picked out for the back, so no thinking required.
  4. Winter I small wall hanging -- needs to be made into a sandwich
  5. Winter II -- very much a work in progress
  6. Reds and Greys Half Squares -- lots of little half squares made but as yet I have no clear idea how they will go together.
  7. Blues and Yellows Half Squares
  8. Circles -- I think a majority of the blocks have been made, but not all as you can see by the photo, and the layout is a long way from being decided.

Second Nine Patch


Finally the photos of my second finished Nine Patch. The fabric selection in this version are slightly darker, that is to say I used more darker fabrics than in the first version of the quilt. It even includes at least one fabric not used in the first. Despite this the two have a very similar feel.

The multi colour edge band contributes most to the difference in "feel" between the two quilts. Along with the very different and much darker back to this second quilt.

More Flowers

A few more flowers to celebrate because I am stuck in doors while the wind blows and and rain torrents fall.



I think this is the last of this year's Crocus.



I have been quilting, but I haven't gotten around to looking at my photographs yet.
