A bit more fabric and a quilt top finish!!

Here is the rest of the fabric I mentioned in my previous post

I have been busy cutting hexagon templates and even put fabric on about 6 of them! 

I have also finished a quilt top - finally, although I love the middle section I think there needs to be another thin border between the two outer borders. The pattern I am following had quite different shades of fabric so there was quite a difference but mine are quite pale. I have had a scour of the internet but so far not been able to track down any of the red fabric.

I had planned to put a aqua binding on this quilt, but i think this is going to be too pale so again I think I need more red, what do you think? 

Here is a photo of the design I am making, although I am not adding the circles as they all need hand stitching :( now I love sewing on binding but am not too keen on sewing on 100 circles.

 Can you see what I mean about the borders? I need to get the backing fabric too then I can finally finish this quilt. 

Linking up to WIP Wednesday

Winter's Lane Quilt

This quilt has been a long time in the making, I got fed up with seeing the strips over the radiator and so sewed them together at the weekend.

I have managed a bit of sewing on the borders over the last couple of evenings and hope to get the top finished this weekend.

I am linking up with Lee @ Freshly Pieced

Time to get a crafty wiggle on!!

I have been neglecting my blog for far too long... 

I have been inspired by a blog I discovered yesterday http://glindaquilts.blogspot.co.uk (sorry can't work out how to add a link atm) so thanks to Jen for the kick up the backside I needed! 

Now where to start, I have so many UFOs! One of my priorities has to be finishing off my rainbow broken herringbone quilt 

and also to finish off this quilt which is currently keeping one of the radiators warm in our family room, where I sew, but unfortunately means the room is not as warm is it could be!! 

But first of all there is another project I need to start and finish before they reach the sewing (dining) table.....
