To be very specific, it's a dark purpley-brown and feels batik-y. As soon as I saw it in the shop I knew it was just the thing. Black would have been too intense.

Thank you for your kind comments TSPers. As I keep mentioning, I had a superb and lovely teacher to help me on the way and couldn't be more grateful to Imi for all her time and encouragement  :hug:

These quilts are fantastic. It’s lovely to see how different they look with their individual colour schemes. I finished quilting my last block yesterday so hoping I can turn the blocks into a quilt before Christmas.

if you want a specific fabric to match something you'll have to send it to me.

Sorry
Yes applique label saying Bjay 2020 - bright yellow embroidery on - erm - pale green maybe


just reached squares out of storage box - they don't seem to blend together - may end up being 5 x 3 or  may end up being 3 x 4. All because there is one I eally don't like and I haven't anymore green swirly fabric.
i know I'm way behind but I will get there in the end (I think)

Needs  :thinking:

Such fun!!
I have an unsuccessful flying geese block with swirly green fabric.
I am now unpicking the triangles in an attempt to construct a new block to my own design.
Very slow, but I will finish quilt at some time

Extra block made with unpicked flying geese from a rubbish block and using the swirly green fabric
I am now an expert in unpicking ;)

I have also run out of batting and will order some in the New Year
