Ok, I have been so good working away on UFOs since Christmas and have lots to share in the near future. This week, however, it was definitely time to start something new. Below are the first six blocks for my Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt. I have made two more since taking these pictures so the total now stands at 8.
I kept seeing so many gorgeous versions over the last couple of weeks that in the end the temptation was too great and I just dived in!
I am using all my favourite Bonnie and Camille fabrics in red, pink, aqua, grey, green and white/light.
I am sure you will recognise lots of Ruby, Vintage Modern and Marmalade.
I was a bit short on greens and white/lights so added some Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree Quilts in these colours.
I have all my strips cut and organised to make 36 blocks. Whenever I feel the urge to sew they are ready to just pick and go for it. 
I have two more weeks of holidays before term 1 starts on Feb 4 ... gosh the time has flown by. I will be back soon to share some of the other projects I've been working on during the holidays.
looks fantastic Christine,well done,love the fabrics.xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christine!! Love your choice of fabrics, can't wait to see more blocks.... I'm really keen to do one of these as well but like Cathy I can't fit it on my sewing bench....
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are just gorgeous, love the fabrics you are using!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - but oh dear....all those seams to butt! My least favourite part of quilting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christine, I have used the same fabrics plus a few others in my quilt.

Wonderful blocks and your colors are great. I have some of those fabric lines and when I get done with my Row Along with Bee in My Bonnet mystery, I am going to use those scraps for this block design. Also, I love the white quilt in the background of your photo. What is that pattern of quilting? It looks like a pantograph of daisies possibly?
