I’ve also started to pull other colours from the scrap stash for future blocks. Pink and blue should be okay. Aqua is going to be tricky. I don’t know if I’ll make brown if it’s on the list but I might make a brighter green block. I have enough black. Orange is going to be a problem too.
Let’s wait and see what next month’s colour will be, shall we?

I don’t normally like working with stripes but it’s okay when they are used for binding.
All I need now is some cooler weather so I can sit with these on my lap and sew the binding down.
Summer has lingered this year with day time temperatures still in the high twenties. Autumn should be here soon. Right?
There are several different colourways for this pattern but this one grabbed my attention. Wendy’s pattern calls for fat quarters but I’ve only got a layer cake which I’m determined to make work.
I’m aiming for a square quilt with at least 16 twelve inch blocks. There might be some scrappier versions and maybe the leftover fabric pieces can be used in a border. We’ll have to wait and see.
Joanne at Canuck Quilter has a timely blog post on the Basics of Stitch and Flip. I think I need a finer pencil to mark the diagonals which would help.
Still quilting Ambleside and not long to go before the top is finished and the binding can be stitched on. We have a long weekend for Easter and hopefully there’s time to sit and sew down the binding.
Another project is in its infancy. Thought you might like a sneaky peek.
Happy stitching!
