The Charity quilt is well under way just with what I have been working on today. I have now used up every scrap of wadding that I had stashed away - not a skerrick went to waste. Although the intention of this quilt was to gather together all the left over blocks that we had in our stash I couldn't resist making a few brighter blocks just make sure that there is a pop of colour. The whiter blocks have been free motioned to death to give a little oomph. I haven't pieced it together as I want to spread out the patterned blocks evenly throughout the quilt. Anyway that's my effort so far
Practising pebble free motion quilting
And a super larger ball of yarn I bought from a thrift shop - bargain $2 - thought I would see how far it would go to making a pillow poof!
How many quilts are you hoping to make. I too follow little island quilting and have sent her some blocks and would love to send you some too if they would help.
