Its looking lovely Plosh, but then I expect no less from you ... I think you're on the right tracks with the green, after all whats a strawberry without that delicious touch of green on the top?

Back on track!



Whoever said you can't get a quart into a pint pot, or in this case, you can't get a quart out of a pint pot, hadn't seen me making 9 four patches out of a piece of fabric the size of your thumb nail, with the help of my wonderful Stripology ruler from Creative Grids.  (Other strip cutting rulers blah, blah, blah.)

Go Pearl!  That's gorgeous!!  :D
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Thanks, honey.  I think I must have bought the last piece anywhere.   :)

I swapped fabrics 2 and 5 but no-one will notice, will they?   -< ;)

I’m currently re-sewing the central star which I unpicked last week after I realised I’d sewn  it wrong and then found that I preferred it that way!   :D

Well, it's all in one piece and is definitely in the "not perfect but..." category.  Four squares are a little... oblong, but I'm not unpicking it again.  Is it possible that I've done more unpicking than sewing?  It definitely seems so.

Love the colours and it reminds me of the early days of TSP.  Pic when it's quilted and bound.   :P

I love your colours.  My mystery quilt is my 'back of the sofa quilt' and is much used.  It couldn't be more different from yours, you wouldn't think they were the same design and its only the colours that differ.
