I am actually, actually in the process of making a quilt. Not just thinking about it, not just trawling the tinterweb for possible fabric choices, not just fannying around on EQ7 designing something that could easily be drawn on a piece of paper with a pen. I've actually chosen the fabric, well some of it ;) I've cut some of the fabric up. I've started to sew things together. An actual quilt, not individual blocks for other people....not this time, no. A quilt for other people instead! Woohoo!
The following megablock took be chuffing days to do....

My idea is a gift for some dear friends of mine and I'm trying to incorporate some lyrics from one of "their" songs, you know. I originally printed out a huge wodge of PP letter templates from EQ7 but the letters were not reversed (fortunately I worked this out after half a letter!). I could not for the life of me work out how I could reverse the template in EQ7 without losing the will to live so I bought
Kristy @ Quiet Play's typography block templates and cracked on.......slowly! One word down, twelve more to go - may not have been my best laid plan but I also bought some
Thangles and am loving how quickly the HSTs are coming together so maybe it will even itself out.
I
may have inadvertedly bought some fabric for that Washi pattern I bought last month...

Some gorgeous nano iro double gauze from
Francis@Miss Matatabi that cost me an additional 11 quid in customs charges #pffft
And after a challenging few days with the wee man, I decided to kill two birds with one stone with this...

It helped me as I cleared my phone of shedloads of wee man selfies that all looked exactly like this...
