Just Spinning Around!

Hello Everyone,

While on retreat, I had the opportunity to finish up my Black and White Challenge! Well, just the top is done. I have to make the back and then quilt it, mere technicalities.

Anyway, here it is...

I really love the splash of orange in this. The design is really a variation of the Kaleidoscope block, but by adding extra pieces it makes it spin! You can find the pattern HERE. Best of all the entire quilt was cut on my AccuQuilt Studio Cutter. Well, with the exception of the borders. It took about 15 minutes to cut. Not bad.

Until Next Time...

Long weekend

As we didn't get away again on holiday, due to a number of reasons, I've got some holidays to use up from work before the end of the year - so this weekend is a lovely long weekend. I'm off until Thursday.

Over these few days and after completing some of those craft distracting issues (housework), I'm hoping to get a few hours each day up in my craft room - it will be chilly up there but hopefully some frantic sewing will keep me warm.

The UFO's on my 'hit' list will be:-

1. The Threave challenge project
2. The B&W quilt challenge top

Other than the Threave project I'll hopefully be able to share photos with you within a day or two.

Number "2"

This Black/White/Red "Fractured Star" is my second and final installment in this wonderful challenge. Each block measures 8 1/2" with a 2" red border and 3" piano key border. I had a blast choosing colors, looking at everyobody's quilts and reading about what each person blogged about.

Black and white and bright all over

I'm entering this as my challenge, although it doesn't quite meet the challenge requirements of black and white and one colour. This is black and white and bright , with lime green being the dominant colour and lots of others mixed in for good measure. It is 50 by 60 and still in the flimsy stage. I intend this to be machine quilted on a flannel backing, so it will be a cozy throw. I've been watching the rest of you do the challenge, and I couldn't limit myself to one colour. But I did collect b/w prints for the last several months, and cut into about half of them for this project. At last count, I used more than 50 fabrics in this quilt. Thanks Jackie for a great challenge, and for enlightening me in the path of black and white.

Happy sewing!

This is my contribution to the Black and White Challenge.  As with most of my quilts, it grew like Topsey.  The three leaf panels are my very first lino prints!

Hopefuly this detail shot will show the small continuous leaf pattern I used to quilt the back ground with.  I hope you like it!
