@Efemera , may I ask you about fabric choice?  Do you use your scraps or buy fabric specifically for your Jen Kingwell projects?

I bought a fat quarter stack from Hawthorne Fabrics in The US several years ago.

Beautiful!

I’ve just bought the Long Time Gone pattern and the Quilt Lovely book.  I plan to make a Small Wonders cushion first.

That’s a nice pattern...I’m hoping to start mine on Saturday. I’ve cut the templates for the first block.
I’m machine piecing.

Well that went better than I thought it would...those small curved seam are a bit of a bother....
First block done. I need two of these.its around 12inches finished... she seems to use odd measurements though copying and cutting out the plastic templates isn’t the most accurate.

Another block done 6 inch this time. Not very pleased with this one but as there’s another 6 to do I hope they’ll get better.

This one was really difficult luckily there’s a sew- along on See Jane Quilt’s blog with lots of useful tips. Just as well there’s another 3 blocks to do.

We have progress... I have to say this is the most difficult quilt I’ve ever done. Tracing and cutting the templates from plastic is easy enough but fathoming out which bits join which is a nightmare...the Cockatoo block was the most difficult so far.
