Quilts are progressing




Today I finished my second quilt top. I have sewn two for samples for out GTG on Tuesday. Both very simple, A cot quilt made from fabric donated by Kali Neel and Carol Monshing and Dorothy. It is simple rail fence with a couple of borders. The second one is made from fabric donated by Dorothy of www. chocolate-coated.com and also the navy fabric donated by Carol.




Yesterday was cutting out day, I cut 60 blocks ready for applique, drew up some simple designs, wrote some instructions on applique for the begginers. Also cut some blocks Carol and I are going to applique butterflys for a cot quilt and also cut two single bed quilts similar to the photo and two cot quilts complete with sashing and borders. I am hoping for some volunteers to take and sew them.




The pictured quilt for the boy I am thinking may be backing with polar fleece is quick simple and in expensive.




There is a new patchwork shop in Myrtleford. Not new really a shop that has a new owner and she is specialising in quilting fabric. Great hey!!! Anyway DH got the job of making her 8 boxes to display her fabric and she has asked me to make some sample quilts I could teach . Great hey!!!




Well that's about it for today.
