Where there's lots started... and even a few finishes!

what's happening in the sewing room

Well I've shown you a couple of weeks of progress pics,
so I thought I'd show you my finished 'feeling plummy' quilt top now too




I used the 'wagon wheels' quilt pattern from Kaffe's book 'Quilts in Italy'
And for earlier details about my processes & colour decisions, etc pop back here and here











 and just one more pic, with that sort of stained glass window effect . . .


Another one to join the pile waiting for basting & quilting
- and my design wall is now bare!

Linking up with Caroline from sewcanshe here
and with Em for 'moving it forward Monday' here at emsscrapbag

  1. This is so lovely. I love the way you can put pretty colours together in a interesting, not twee, way.

    1. Thank you Sue. I had lots of fun mix and mismatching the fabrics for this one. If you look closely at the blocks, there are a few little patterns happening that help your eye unscramble things, hopefully :)

  2. The border fabric is gorgeous, Linda.
    Your last photo is beautiful with the lighting from behind.

  5. Delicious, like peppermint candies without the Christmas colors. I love the border fabric and think I may even have some of it, but sadly, not enough to do a border.
