So the week started off like this...
...my fat arse crushed my 24" omnigrid ruler. At least the biggest piece was still long enough to be useful! It needed to be useful as I've signed up to this rather
lovely Block of the Month. This is the first month of 6 and there were a staggering 13 blocks to make! Lots of strip piecing so super quick but heavily reliant on my ruler.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention
flying geese...56 of them! It's a good job I'd had a bit of a break from them after the
Marcelle Medallion.
This is going to be a monster 102" square quilt! Even though I have treated myself to a very
indulgent new machine, to improve my mood when quilting anything bigger than a lap quilt, I still won't be quilting this sucker myself!! See how I snuck that in there ;) I'm expecting delivery of the new beast on Monday...literally cannot wait! Catch you soon x
Mega machine Mrs. Treat yourself to another ruler too as you will be needing it to make those lovely blocks. Di x
ReplyDeleteOh what fun you'll have with your new machine!
ReplyDeleteOK so I am very jealous of the new machine, and even jealous that you had a 24" ruler in the first place!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the colours in those star blocks! I need a new 12in ruler myself - I've worn out the corners on mine!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in those star blocks!
ReplyDeletenew machine?? ears out on stalks?? Look forward to seeing it! and hearing the details!
A new member of the family? How wonderful! Your blocks are beautiful so far! Jxo
ReplyDeleteHappy new machine, and go get a ruler too.x
ReplyDeleteGosh that is indulgent! Lucky thing!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to come to the quilt show in Uttoxeter with Ange, Susan and I btw I have space in the car for one more. We're going Sunday morning if you want in, just let me know :)
102"!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is bigger than any given room in this house I think.
ReplyDeleteI love those 25 patch with a star blocks and the quilt is going to be wonderful! I hope you get a replacement ruler soon and that your new machine quickly settles into family life ;o)
ReplyDeleteGet you with the fancy pants machine. I thought the first pic was some special quilting ruler you'd bought not one you'd sat on ;-)
