Working on Another Backing

This week I have been working on the backing of Between the Lines quilt, designed by Irene of Surgaridoo. I finished the quilt top about 18 months ago, so time to turn it into a quilt. It is single bed size but we will use it as a picnic rug I think.

I used the left over blocks from the front to make a column feature for the back, then added large leftover scraps of black to make the back.

 

First one side, then the other.

Then the top half.

Yesterday I sandwiched the three layers and pinned - ready for quilting today.

March Rainbow Scrap Challenge

So good to be back in the sewing room. I finished what I had started back in March of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, red things. I didn't make a lot, with not many days in the sewing room.

I have been working on April RSC blocks this week and last. I have so many pink scraps!

Today was the first full day I was able to spend in the sewing room, and it was wonderful. By 1.30pm I thought it must have been 5.30 😇, and I got so much done. Let's hope it continues all weekend.

My Second Finish for the Year

Had a couple of weeks on another relaxing adventure, didn't even do any hand stitching.

Back now and I finally finished quilting Lupines and Laughter quilt, designed by Bonnie Hunter.

I decided to use orphan blocks as the backing, but don't think I will use so many next time. I've used spare blocks from quilts to join two pieces of fabric for the backing previously, and that was much easier. Some of the blocks were left overs, some were from projects I didn't finish. The purple blocks were for a quilt I was making for a good friend, who sadly, suddenly passed, before I had finished. I'm happy to include them in this quilt as it will live on our bed. 

Anyway, I made a big dent in my ophan blocks box.
