Quilt top WIP

I mentioned earlier that I was attending a nightclass to learn how to do patchwork properly. Well the class has now finished and I am well on the way to creating a 9 block sampler quilt. I still have to add borders, do quilting and binding but I'm really hopeful I can get it finished in time for Christmas.....wish me luck!
It is cold and snowy here in Shetland, it makes everything look lovely, but its not so easy to get out and about. Its been a day off Nursery for J and no toddler group for A so I was very glad when the postman arrived with a big box of crafting supplies I ordered from Hobby Craft last week, time to start making some Christmas gifts for the family.....

Quilt Blocks


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.
