New Start

"Scrappy Trip Around the World" quilt top was finished last week

and the backing was made.

"Scrappy Trip" and "Wish Upon a Star" were delivered to Jenny (Angel Cake Quilting) on Thursday and I'm looking forward to seeing them quilted.  I'll be picking up "Wish Upon a Star" on the way home this evening.

I felt the need to work with a different colour scheme, so cut out a "Plain and Fancy" block (quilt designed by Coriander Quilts).  Was really happy with how the first block turned out.  I've been wondering what to make with the leftovers of my "Chantilly" fat quarter bundle and was able to buy some more of the coral fabric. 

Back to "Red Letter Day" tonight.

Had a very social weekend - Friday night went out for dinner then to the pictures to see the staged concert version of "Les Miserables" starring Michael Ball, Alfie Boe and Matt Lucas (SO fabulous); littlest Sweetheart's first birthday party on Saturday with all the family and friends; Kathy Lette at IPAC on Saturday night; took Gulliver to a birthday party yesterday afternoon as his Mummy and Daddy were both working.
