FNWF

What a great night/day of stitching. I finished the top of my nephews quilt. The pattern is called Fair and Square from Crazy Mom Quilts. Sharon at Lilabelle Lane whipped up another quick quilt top from this blog last night too. It was a very easy pattern to follow.......will definitely use it again. Now I need to think about how to quilt it.


As it turns out I can show you my block for the nine patch swap, I'm just a little early. In 6 months time, 72 little nine patch blocks in a variety of reproduction fabrics will come back to me.

I also pulled out a UFO to finish for Chookyblue's quilt drive Caring With Quilts. It just needs to be quilted.

Unusually, I did not do a single stitch by hand yesterday, but I had a rather nice time with my machine. It really does speed the process up, but I guess you all know that already!

Hope you had a fun and productive night, enjoy the weekend.

  6. A very productive evening for you Susan. Lachlan's quilt looks masculine and classy. Great choice of fabric and design. A lovely gesture to donate your quilt.
    Love a nine patch in whatever fabrics, but definitely more partial to the reproductions.

  11. Oh Susan your Nephew's quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I'll have to look that one up...it's just so masculine especially with those colours! The repro block is pretty cool too...Chooky is running such a heartfelt programme with the quilts which will all be cherished I think.

  27. Great manly looking quilt for your nephew. I bet he's going to be thrilled to bits with it. Now... I'm puzzled. You send off 1 nine patch block and get 72 back.... sounds like a deal to me. Where do I sign up :o)) The quilt you are finishing for Caring With Quilts is gorgeous. Someone is going to be very happy to receive it.
