Scrappy Terrain...

Last weekend I went to a Retreat with some Quilting Buddies and had a ball!
I had such a good time I forgot to take any photos so I can only show you I achieved for the weekend.
This started life as a Terrain layer cake.

I matched two layer cake pieces together that contrasted with each other, then I cut each layer cake into a 3.5" and a 6.5" strips and swapped with the matching  piece.

 I did this with all 40 pieces.
I re-matched two contrasting layer cake pieces again, then turned each block 180 degrees,and cut these in Half,
and once again I swapped with the other matching piece.

When happy with the layout I sewed them together.
 The end result is this scrappy look quilt that went together so Quickly.
It is a Fabulous size Quilt but I'm going to wait for the Terrain Yardage to be released and will put some borders on it.
 Then It will be the perfect snuggling size!
My next project was a little slower!
I did a test block of Swoon before I cut into my stash of Fabric. I'm thinking of now doing it in my DS Fabric, but I will wait for the next release due in Spotlight stores at the end of the month!

Summer in Central Park...

The sun is shining as it’s the perfect afternoon to take some photos.

This is my smaller lap version of my Summer Garden quilt
 that is in Issue 6 of Fat Quarterly e-zine Available Here.

I have made this from ½ a layer cake and Yardage. It measures 50” Square so it makes a good size for a Couch Throw.

I used all my favourite colours from Central Park by Kate Spain.

Followers of my blog would know I have a girl crush on her and all of her Fabrics...he he.

Lastly here is my Finished Kaleidoscope Quilt... I’m still lovin’ the Orange!

Fandango Quilt...

Remember this ?

 Yesterday I loaded her on the Gammill and went for It!
It took about 4 Hours to complete....
 

I Quilted in a pattern called Nouveau Flower.

Th pattern is Quite loose so it's still lovely and Squishy

 
Also......
A while ago I watched this video on YouTube from the Missouri Quilt Co.


I bought the tool and it's been sitting waiting for it's first use.


I finally got to use the binding tool...
I can highly recommend it to anyone, It's soooo easy to use
It makes the final bias seam so easy to do,
 and the binding fitted perfectly on the Quilt.


Fabulous!!!!!
