Third Finish for the Year

I had finished the top of Between the Lines quilt last year and was waiting for inspiration and time to finish it. I worked on the back a few weeks ago, and with a few days free I decided to finish it.

I was happy with the back, so after layering and pinning I started to quilt.

I started by quilting the orange row, on the colour section and decided that it would be better to quilt on the black. I did a meandering pattern.

Very happy with another finish.

Now to start another quilt.

April Rainbow Scrap Challenge

The colour for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for April was pink - one of my three favourite colours. I made some pineapple blocks...

... and some insects.

I made some scrappy 6.5" blocks and some 4.5" blocks for a future quilt top.

Also some more coasters.

For this month of May, the colour is orange.

I'm starting a new quilt top this week with triangles - more in a few weeks.

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.
