Last Saturday was spent at Leeds MQG (who have shiny new website) where there was plenty
of chatter, laughter and sewing. I took along my first project for 2015 – the Nautical Quilt for a great nephew who is due to appear this month.
My first thought was for a 5 x 5 block layout and after
trying different arrangements had decided on a diagonal rainbow on a
directional bluey-green background fabric which could represent the sea.
In the end I had more rainbow colours that anticipated and
decided to go for a 5 x 6 layout with a total of 15 boats blocks.
I was pleased with my progress on Saturday – I managed to
get all the sails completed for the boats. However, after looking at the
picture I posted on Instagram, I realised that a couple of blocks had very choppy sea
conditions!
