Donna's quilt (2)

Well, you know how it is.

You don't mean to, and then you find that at 6am you are ironing HSTs instead of trousers.  How did that happen? I don't know.  But the quilt is laid out now and looks like.......

I think it's going to be ok!  I have to work out how to proceed - I've never made one like this.  I'm guessing it's into pairs, then strips, then join the two strips together.  After that it'll just need a border, probably in cream, then batting and backing and we're done.

I likes it though.

I have 4 more baby quilts to make.  Before the end of January.

No problems....... ;-)

Oh, and I joined in the Jolly Holly Blog bingo which looks to be a lot of fun!

Shower and school

Off I go.......

Donna's quilt (1)

So tonight I suddenly know what I want to do for Donna's daughters baby quilt.  Unlike quilting for fun, this one has a deadline.  Baby is due in January.  Donna would like her quilt by the end of term.  That's Friday.

*gulp*

But it's ok.  I have a plan.

It's a good plan, sketched on a whiteboard.  I like it.   The materials are these:-

 They were on my table, now they are cut.  What is in the big bag behind them?

You may well ask, Dear Reader, you may well ask.

I had some kind of brain melt down after the inquest, and bought 20 square metres of batting.  20.

I know I'll use it, but still......

Anyway, this is as far as I have got with the quilt tonight.  Cut 5inch squares, made HST's from them, using a colour with a pale pale pink gorgeousness.

I was going to iron them tonight, but I'm a tad tired, so I'll leave it I think!

I found the camera!

Ah, that's better!

Except it's sideways.

Oh well.  One can't have everything!

Christmas centre

At night, apparently.

To fill in the discerning reader, the camera is at school.  This should be a 4 patch block with poinsettia fabric, red background, white flowers, white background, red flowers.  Green surround, white surround.

This phone is not good at pictures.  But I made this tonight.  I suppose in about 3 hours?  Not bad for a beginner!
