Strawberry Social

Finished this fun quilt over the weekend - loved making this quilt.  I also made one last year but this one is a little different - I used only one green for the stems, leaves and border rather than scrappy greens.

The backing is a gorgeous Riley Blake strawberry fabric.

"Roundabout"is the quilting design Jenny, AngelCake Quilting. chose for the first Strawberry Social quilt and I asked her to use it again - it has lots of interesting patterns in the one design.

Last week's "Sewcialites" design is called Noble and designed by one of my favourite designers - Susan Ache (@yardgrl60).

I cut out a couple of quilts in the last week.  "Summer Days" designed by Bonnie Olaveson (Bonnie Cotton Way) and also Rainbow Baby from "Bonnie and Camille's Quilt Bee" book.

I hope to make a Sawtooth Star a day for the next 6 or 7 weeks and then I'll have enough for the quilt top.

Over the last few days I've been making the low volume connecting nine patches for "Nine Patch Waltz" - the circles are starting to become apparent.

Latest Riley Blake Block Challenge block with a couple of non-Chantilly fabrics.

and all the blocks so far together.  I love this fabric and am sorry to be using up the last of so much of it.

Weekend plans changed a bit - Mum and I went to the pictures on Saturday afternoon to see "June Again".  Such a beautiful Australian film starring Noni Hazelhurst, who is wonderful.  Saturday night I saw "Viva Bob Vegas" - a show put together by the fabulous Bob Downe.  What a fun, entertaining show.

Yesterday was a quiet day at home - housework and some sewing.
