Not much happening around here of late....is anyone working on a quilt?
I have one more row to do to complete the quilt top for my friends birthday and so I'm looking for inspiration.
I fancy something a bit different.....any ideas??

Two!  I began quilting ‘Spirals’ this week and DS1’s quilt is ready to be quilted.

My bird quilt is waiting to be sandwiched and quilted.   :thumb:

I’m making my giraffe quilt…very slowly. It’s for an, as yet, unknown baby , so there’s no rush and the weather’s too good to be inside. I’ve now put a border on it, so the next step will be to sandwich it all together.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

I’ve also got plans to make a girly baby quilt in case a friend’s expected grandchild turns out to be the first girl in generations. I’m thinking about a starry one for a change. Maybe like this one, but a bit more scrappy.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ooh - that's pretty @Sheilago  0_0

Our goddaughters (now 3 and 4.5) have the quilts I made them on their beds every night.  It makes me feel so good seeing them!

I have one basted and ready for quilting and the pattern for the next one bought. I’m hoping that after next week it will ease off a bit at work and I might be able to take a few days off. Things have been non-stop since December and I could do with a break.

I love that ribbon quilt @StitchinTime - beautiful colours, too.

I have a sandwich that is in the middle of being quilted - more on this later as i have tried a new technique that i would definitely avoid in the future... As well as 2 patchwork tops that are in various stages of being put together.

Giraffes? Cats in space? You are all doing some amazing work!

I have an almost finished quilt with the binding stitched on.  Its on the table in my sewing room with the first few clips on the binding .  My sewing room is like the Mary Celeste at the moment.  I just went in there to change the clock and everything is where I left it 3 weeks ago.
Life's too short for ironing.
