On a Whim...

I've accidentally kind of started a new quilt! You remember the pretty little pile of Floressence that I showed in my last post? Well I just couldn't wait to get chopping into it.


I bought Camille Roskelley's On a Whim pattern a while back, just after I started making my Swoon Quilt, and I've been trying to decide what fabric to use. Well one thing lead to another and before I knew it I was merrily chopping up my pretty pile of Floressence, and some Kaffe Fasset shot cotton that I bought to make a tunic ages ago. Who needs a tunic anyway?!


I also made a Diamond Ripples block for the lovely Hadley in the Brit Bee. This block was lovely to make as she had cut all the fabric on her Sizzex thingy, so no need for trimming - yay! She's going to have a gorgeous quilt once she gets all her blocks back!


I've just finished piecing block seven of the 2012 Designer Mystery Block of the month from the Fat Quarter Shop. I LOVE this BOM. It's the first block-of-the-month I've done and I really, really look forward to the little package arriving each month. I'm so tempted by the 2013 BOM - is anyone else thinking about doing that?

Thanks for all the well wishes from my last post :) I'm still deaf in one ear, but it doesn't hurt so much any more. My text books for my course arrived yesterday - very exciting!

Happy Thursday!
