The end is in sight for my Wings and Pretty Things quilt. The last row of elongated hexies is sewn together. I hung the 4 rows up on my shelves so you got the idea of how many there were!
The four little butterflies are appliqued for the corners and just need their antennae stitched on.
I have cut the borders.
So everything is set for the last border.....removal of papers and appliquing the hexies on the borders are next.
In light of my progress I have allowed myself a bit of a beginning on my new project.
This is the centre block. This quilt is one on my wish list and I am excited to get started. I know a lot of you have already made it....I am usually late to the party lol!
The postman delivered some more supplies to see me on my way.
I am hoping to use a mixture of French General and other Reproduction fabrics.
It has been hard to resist.......
The other beginning is trying to work out how exactly to put together the Applecores for a quilt. I have watched a couple of tutorials but all gluing and none for basting, which is my preferred method. Anyway I gleaned what I could and I think I have it sussed now.
I didn't want to pack it in my caravan with no clue how to use them. I am going to try and work two rows so that I know the process and can repeat it easily.
Well the fire needs lighting.....it's a bit cool here in sunny Queensland today.
Stay well and stay warm folks.
