Block of the Month 2017 / Re: Block of the Month - October
« on: October 06, 2017, 09:48:04 AM »
My background fabric came. It's STOF fabric with metallic gold strands print....(I think it's called 'Brilliant Christmas').
I ordered half a metre but mis-calculated slightly and had to piece it to get my border on the bottom edge.
I thought I'd worked it out properly, but even with Iminei saying it would measure about 36 inch square, I was surprised by how big 36" square is...
I cut my border at 2 3/4". I pressed all my seams to one side and didn't feel it was a problem with bulk.
My daughter thinks I've gone mad. I'm a bit of a 'Bah! Humbugger', when it comes to Christmas. She can't quite believe I've made this.

Same here, Greybird. Every time I come on here this morning, I've had the same warning and my anti-virus has blocked it.
Don't know how to do a screenshot, but I jotted it down.

Block of the Month 2017 / Re: Block of the Month - October
« on: October 01, 2017, 14:08:00 PM »
It looks complicated. 
I'll be ok until I get to the 'cutting at angles' part, but I'm definitely going to give it a try. I've found some greens and a red but I'm missing a suitable background fabric in my stash. I'll find something online to use for that.
I've had a couple of strange coincidences.
Yesterday, I found a lovely Christmas Dresden Plate wreath, which I kept for future reference on my Pinterest Quilt Ideas board...and today, you give us this ?!
Also, my friend visited yesterday and asked if I'd ever watched The Stepford Wives. I hadn't, but last night, by coincidence.... I spotted it was available to view on iplayer...so I've seen it now.
Hmmmm.....I wonder if these things come in threes?....my brother mentioned that the only hope for our family to make a large sum of money is by winning the lottery. I'd better check my numbers!

Lovely work, rubywishes
I've never tried FMQ, and I don't have the correct machine foot to try it...(They're expensive to buy and it's said to be quite tricky to master, so it's putting me off.)

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / FPP Cow block
« on: September 18, 2017, 08:43:59 AM »
I've finally got around to buying a new printer...YAY!
So....I've been able to print off the pattern to make a wonderful cow block which I'd stumbled across while I was looking for something else.
It's on piecemealquilts.com.....I'm sorry I don't know how to make the linky thing for you to click onto.
There are quite a few sections to make up and then attach all together and I've struggled in places to get the pieces to match up nicely....you can see what I mean around the right ear.

« on: September 13, 2017, 08:56:08 AM »
I'm on Ebay now and I'm finding smaller quantities. I think you need to search for 'fluorescent' rather than 'neon', but it's only showing 35mm, not 40mm.

I've just been looking on Jaycotts website, and they do a 35mm Berisfords fluorescent yellow and a green.....I don't know how much you need but they only seem to sell in by the reel.

« on: September 10, 2017, 09:55:55 AM »I was thinking of doing an improv type of quilt, Sandra, but I find I need to have an idea of how the finished quilt will look before starting. I might end up using that technique once I have the pieces cut.
I need some sort of plan, but mine are scribbles on scraps of paper. (This is why my sizes don't work out properly
) I love how organised you are with your plan.Sandra.
