Quilt Blocks

Quilt Blocks for 3 x 6 Bee Hive 13 3rd Quarterhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/phatsheeptextiles/4826943383/, originally uploaded by Phatsheep Textiles.

Here is my most recent sewing experiment, I'm taking part in the 3 by 6 Sampler Quilt Mini Bee over on Flickr. I hope the recipients like pinwheels and think that they reflect their colour and fabric requests well. Pinwheels are my new favourite quilting pattern, I'm currently working on a larger quilt using Riley Blakes Wheels fabrics its pinwheels all the way with that too! Heres a sneak peek of the quilt top before I start sewing it together.

Swap update and more tutorials

Most of you should have received an e-mail yesterday with your swap partners info, if you didn't then its either because I haven't got your contact details yet or I have missed you out, I do hope I haven't done that, it certainly wasn't intentional but trying to co-ordinate partners with a toddler pretending to be the andrex puppy with all the toilet rolls in the cupboard is a little distracting! So if you haven't received a swap partner then please get in touch and I'll sort it out.

I've been looking into some other tutorials and buttony interestingness.

Here are a few on making fabric covered buttons:
