Across the Sea Progress

If you are visiting to enter the River Fabrics Giveaway, please see here for details.  Giveaway closes Friday 9th September.

I'm taking part in the Across the Sea QAL hosted by Sarah and Jennifer.

Over the weekend I got all my blocks pieced, trimmed to 12.5" and layed out on the floor to ponder!

Not sure about that lone dark blue cross!


Think I'll go with this one!


While there is a lot of cutting for this wee quilt, the piecing of the blocks was v.straightforward and quick (I like!).

Next is the scrappy border - oh I love a bit of scrappy!

Happy Monday everyone.

  2. I'm with you and Sheila - the dark one was too much of a renegade. Love your colours and fabrics. That'll be you and me today then. Piecing those blocks together.

  3. Definitely better without the navy cross.

    I'm doing the lap size ones and had a complete headache trying to arrange the blocks. I had it out all weekend rearranging every time I passed. I eventually got to the point last night of saying 'to hell with it' and went with the arrangement at that point lol

  9. LOve red, white and blue for fun! This is going to be a super wee quilt (though actually it looks quite big).

  10. Its wonderful, I wonder if the dark blue one will turn into another quilt or a pillow to match?
