What's new?

There has been a flurry of activity behind the scenes, including a much needed stash tidy up and then of course the commencement of a new project.  


A new quilt project means selecting a whole range of new fabrics which I do think is the most fun part of quilt making, running second only to buying fabrics!  I seem to have continued with a Spring theme when choosing fabrics, this time going with a green and blue color palette. So fresh!


And have spent some time working out an effective layout:


I have made log cabin blocks with a large center square and narrow strips surrounding the center to see the effect of changing the balance of this traditional design.  The log cabins are then alternated with a "square in a square" block (four-patch blocks framed with white fabric).

More pictures soon.

Once again, thank you for stopping by.
