The Zig-Zag quilt was made from left-over Fireworks fabrics. Lovely bright, fresh colours.

The X-block quilt had been cut out for a couple of years and it's good to have this one finished. My friend, Diann, gave me the ruler and book as a birthday present and I've made quite a few quilts using this ruler. There is a great variety of designs that can be made.

The binding on this quilt was added using a method/tutorial from Linda at Flourishing Palms - a great way to use two different fabrics to finish off a quilt.
Last week a friend sent me a link on Facebook to some very cute crocheted characters - had to buy the book/kit.
Made a lot of mess in the sewing room cutting strips and squares for a very scrappy quilt I hope to start in a little while. It's going to take a long time to make this quilt - over 1,000 2-1/2" 4 patches. Lots of chain piecing.
Four more Orange Swoon blocks to add to the stack - halfway now. So many different shades of orange.
Had some great company this weekend - friends came for lunch on Saturday and Sunday and I also spent some time with another old friend.

Hello Lynda,
I am in love with the little quilts, the second one is so different to anything I have seen.
The crochet book looks like it will be a lot of fun to make up the characters. Good luck joining up those squares.
happy days.
