You thought I was talking about me? Well, actually, yes, I have been rather busy - panto, festive films at the cinema, Christingle, school carol service, gymnastics display...... it's a busy time of year, isn't it?!?
What I was really talking about, though, was this quilt. You can see what happened with those lovely Bali batik charm squares - but I really needed to find a background that wasn't going to overtake them quite so comprehensively! The eye doesn't have anywhere to rest, which isn't what I'd really want.
Cheerful, but too busy! The back is much more restful!
If you didn't make a note (or make one to give away!) earlier in the year when I linked to this pattern, consider making one now. Just a little time and a little love could make someone more comfortable. Go on, I bet that you could find 45 minutes to make one sometime over Christmas and the New Year!
This site has both a pattern and a full tutorial.
So, my 'November Quilt' has been started and finished before the binding on my October Snowball quilt has been stitched down. Not a bad outcome (after all, I didn't think that I'd manage to make a November quilt until next year!) but I'd still like to get the Snowball quilt finished before Christmas! I'm off to do some more stitching down now!
It may be too busy, but I still like it. It's a bit like a Chinese puzzle, but a lot more fun!
ReplyDeleteThe anti ouch pouches are fab, several friends have had them and said they help a lot. Yes the top is busy, but too busy? Nah, don't think so!!! Hope the girls are enjoying the last week of term xxx
