Testing 1,2,3
Our uber-talented friend, Lynne, put out a call for pattern testers last week and I was one of the lucky people that got the pleasure of road testing her Tube Quilt. I've spent the last couple of afternoons petting and chopping fabric.
I'm a third of the way through making the top and can say that it is a joy to piece! My favourite block so far is this one...
I had so much fun fussy-cutting these frog princes. I'm probably a bit slow on the uptake as I've only just noticed the fly in his belly.
The blocks go together really quickly so I should have a finished top to show you very soon.

I free-motioned the edges with red Aurifil and it really makes the holly "pop". It's a really fast and fun project to put together. It's destined to be a coaster, allegedly a Christmas gift... if I can bear to give it away ;)
I hope your Christmas sewing is going to plan. Catch you soon x

You are a machine, woman! Great tube block - love your froggy and the holly. Is there no stopping you/nothing you can't do? I love how when you lost your mojo a bit it came back with someone else's too!
ReplyDeleteI love that frog, so of course the quilt will be fabulous :oD
ReplyDeletewhat a cute frog, hope he enjoyed the fly! I have just got Brioni`s book, must have a good look but with about 400 quilting and embroidery books it takes a while!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot of sewing going on there. Love the holly, and I never saw the fly either.
ReplyDeleteQuilt top looking good! Do you think it will be a pre-Christmas finish?
ReplyDeleteLove your fussy cut on your pattern test Project!!!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are going to be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I love the look of Lynne's pattern and I'm not half as scared of sewing the drunkard path type corners as I would be cutting them! Loving that holly detailing too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tube blocks. You are on a really productive roll. Di x
