I've been doing lots of fiddling around with works in progress this week.
Having decided to go with a hexagon star design for my charm quilt I laid the first few rings out, to see whether I prefered the rings in a single colour or scrappy. I think I prefer the single colour...but I'm not sure. What d'ya reckon?
Next in line was the corduroy Gee's Bend style quilt. I got three pairs of jeans for a quid from a charity stall and got to work ripping them into strips. I laid out the strips together with some leftover bits of corduroy from the centre to see how it would look. I think it's gonna be great!
I've also been working on hand quilting my Jacob's Ladder quilt. I have quilted 17 blocks out of 80 so far (yikes, still a way to go!) but although it's time consuming, I am enjoying it and I do like the way it's looking (ignore the basting thread, will take it all out when Ive finished the lot)
