Whoops, I won't be appliqueing my Clam Bake cushion on the upcoming retreat after all!!
I couldn't resist and I finished it all ha ha ha! So many thread colour changes too. I was in the zone (with an audio book) so it didn't bother me at all, I just got on with it. Each day I entered Quilt Quarters I did an hour or so. Then most of yesterday afternoon to keep out of the sun. Very pleased with it.
I've still got quite a few bits of the fabrics left so I'm now playing with the back for the cushion. Half Rectangle Triangles. A little tricky, Half Square Triangles are sooooo much easier to get pointy points and accurate sizes.
The cushion will look great, front and back! I hope you've noticed my 'bit free' design wall? It had so many threads stuck to it before. I kept picking the larger bits off but, who knew I just needed to get Henry to help me, he is a gem! And the Angel is still waiting for binding.
Today I MUST start sorting out which projects I want to be playing with on the retreat. I am very aware that I'm running out of time. I'll finish my cushion first, ha ha ha!
