I haven't shown a quilt in a while and found these photos to share. The tessellated block is an oldie but goodie and can be found in a lot of places. This one is the same as Freddy Moran's version in the
Collaborative Quilting book.
This monochromatic top is done in batiks and was never quilted because it wasn't doing anything for me. It is interesting to look at though.
I'm off to our annual quilting retreat this weekend, which is only five minutes away from my home so I have been working on getting these bag parts ready so that hopefully, I'll come home with it all completed.
The other ladies are working with these fabric panels as the pockets, aren't they fun?

I'm off to make a giant pot of soup and a batch of biscuits ( cookies to you non Aussies and Kiwis) this apron will help convince me I'm doing some serious cooking, lol. We make sure we don't starve.
I like the blue quilt Jocelyn, it's pretty...your apron however....well, let's just say it's interesting ROFL.

Yes this Kiwi knows what a real biscuit is LOL!! Make it a Tim Tam if possible hehe...
ReplyDeleteI love that blue quilt it is beautiful. Hope you have fun on your retreat.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. I like the blue/white Batik. It would be fun to quilt it with blue thread all over or maybe blue thread on the white and white on the ble fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the retreat, Janet and try to get lots done. (wink)
ReplyDeleteMe too, Collaborative Quilting is my favorite book and now I bought their newest one. Please finish the blue tessellating quilt. It's a winner. Have fun and come back all inspired and rejuvenated.
