Obsessed?

Basting Swoon

I seem to have developed a bit of an obsession with Camille Roskelly's quilt patterns. First it was Swoon, which I wanted to make for ages before Katy started her QAL and got me started on it. I spent yesterday basting my Swoon and hand quilting has now commenced :)

Then Katy kept the fun going and announced that Camille's Hopscotch and On a Whim patterns were next up in the QAL. Cue Fiona obsessively making triangles and being unable to stop. Those triangles were so addictive! My Hopscotch quilt top is now finished and I LOVE it! I need to decide how to quilt it. I'm thinking about being brave and trying some fancy FMQ but we'll see.

Hopscotch all pieced :)

Then Camille put all her pdf patterns on sale for $5 and I couldn't resist buying one or two (okay 3 of them!)
This is her Jelly Filled pattern, I can't decide whether to add borders or leave it as it is. This was a really quick and easy pattern, and I'll be making more of these :)

You'd think I had enough quilts tops on the go wouldn't you? But I'm itching to start on another of Camille's patterns. I'm planning Wild Thing using either a couple of Whimsy charm packs, or Reunion charm packs. I'm trying to be strong and wait until I've finished at least one quilt but my cutting mat is calling me! I think I have a sickness!!!!

  2. I love her patterns, too!! I have a bed quilt for the Chook that's jelly-filled and have always fancied Wild Things. You've got swoon under control, all you need is one other basted and maybe started (thinking about) quilting and you're totally justified in starting another. *g* Go on!!

  4. Wow, those are such cool patterns, I didn't realize they were all by the same person. I am going to have to go see if the $5 thing is still on!
    All of your projects are looking awesome. My vote is no borders, but I'm sure you will figure out something perfect.

  5. oh I'm with you! I did several variations of Swoon before I could move on, just finished Wild Thing (in Hometown), and am debating between On A Whim & Hopscotch next! Absolutely lovely! Can't wait to see what's next with you!

  9. I am sharing that addiction with you at the moment. Are you going to trim your hopscotch or leave it as is?
