I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I've been looking at quilting blogs recently. Fabulous colours and inspirational stuff, but the sheer volume of work involved has been putting me off dipping my toe in the water. Yes, I can sew perfectly well, as in I used to make 90% of my own clothes in the long-ago life before children when I had that spare time stuff, but, you know, quilts are BIG things.
But I think I have encountered my nemesis. (Have a look round the rest of her blog too...the quilts are gorgeous, the photography stunning and if that isn't enough, she knits as well.)
Isn't it beautiful? The colours, the fun fabrics, the fact that it looks dead simple (and quick) to piece together and, of course, so appropriate for an allotment owning fishwife. And I'll be going to the Glasgow Hobbycrafts Show next month...it's always stuffed with patchwork fabrics. I wonder if I can find some of that turnip print?
Ooops.....new obsession coming....

That is a cute quilt!
Thanks for the great blog link too.
How about quilting a knitting bag? I adore looking at patchwork fabrics but my sewing is pants, so I'm safe.
Oh I love looking at quilts and quilt fabric (I have some of that veggie fabric), but I have to say I enjoy the cutting and planning more than the sewing.
