Pssssstttt......
I think she said the other day that she's doing
XXXX
as her third block colour. I think I might do Peridot as mine.

@Iminei
is the narrow sashing going to be the same as BG fabric?
I am waiting to see the 3rd block pattern before I decide which gemstone, it could be emerald or amethyst

Yes, mine is ... I hope I have enough to complete it as theres no way I can find the same stuff ... hand dyed by a company that no longer exists ... Farne Fabrics, the couple retired between now and when I bought it !!

Those look so good.
To try to calm down the bg fabric I thought I may go for a block colour for the sashing in same grey shade.
Block 3 will be a peridot - fits with using family birthstones

Ooh - sounds as though it might be a good time to go and checkout my basket on Doughty's website!

Can I ask what thickness of wadding is best for this quilt. I have 100% cotton but it seems quite thin?

Wadding is of course a personal preference but in my opinion 100 % cotton is ideal ... its the layering that makes a quilt warm. If you want 'puff' or 'high loft' please go for the poly alternative.

Thanks
@Iminei
I do like the 100% cotton but when I see other peoples quilts it appears puffier and mine looks thinner. They have a free p&p today on sewing street tv and they have wadding so I will check their prices. I want to make sure I have enough to complete this mystery quilt

*puffier
