The blues

My 'British Blues' - a range of blues, greens, mauves and lavenders called Coloured Dreams by Fabric Freedom - I got a jelly roll while in the UK last year and found a quick and easy pattern called Basket Case!

Laying out the rows at MMQG yesterday, I had some help from friends to make sure pairs weren't touching and that the overall look was 'messy' enough to be 'right'!!

Lynne suggested taking a black and white photo - helps to see the darks are distributed randomly enough
I think they are...

Anyone else got Powercam on their iPhone?   What absolute fun!!!


This one is TCVGA..whatever that means...


This one is Solarize...




I couldn't resist Granny Squares...my new scrap project!

Though I certainly add to my scrap bag more than I take out I'm absolutely sure!!

Floaty bubbles!...


Some toes in some favourite Birkers...








This one has had the blues.....Ruby fell and scraped the skin off her kneecap

...ewwww I saw bone!!

$445 later, she's getting lots of cuddles telling her not to do that again!....

We call her Conehead now....

Love that black and white photo idea. What a good way to see the colour strengths in a random quilt. It would also make a good masculin quilt. Cherrie

Oh poor Ruby!

I am addicted to the granny squares too and am choosing this block as my March Sew Australia bee block.

I was thinking we could maybe arrange a 2.5" fabric swap via MMQG. What do you think??
