The view from our balcony today...yesterday there was a huge snowstorm that went on and on...I felt so sorry for people caught in it...
Whilst the weather has been dreadful and I have a cold which I most definately could do without, the quilting activity has peaked!!!
Our 21 year old got back from university completely skinned...a few quick calculations later and I had him doing some fabric cutting!!! This boy is truly amazing and a very gifted cutter; despite the initial worries about us ending up in hospital with a removed finger, he cut 768 squares which measure 1 3/4 without a moan, a winge or any sign of back problems!!! My hero!!! (well it did cost me a few bob but then again I handed that
over gladly).
Here are the fruits of his labour (the tiny squares of shot cotton).
I am now ready to progress on my snowball quilt that I started with Kaffe Fassett at the V&A. Well, almost ready to start that one, as soon as I finish my first baby quilt which is made up of these cuties:
Anyway, this is what it looks like so far without the 2 borders:
I have also finally completed the 72 HSTs and they are now pressed and ready to be assembled...cannot wait athough I am a little worried about the variety of colours in it...Let's see!
