Norma finished her quilt top. It's probably one of the easiest designs to make of all the ones I've helped with over the years. Considering Norma found almost all of the 14 Fat Quarters in her stash, I think we did a great job on the whole thing. The back is complete, Amanda in stone better watch out!
Di had all the 4 blocks of her Tomte finished but she couldn't settle on the layout. As she's making 2 quilts, of the same design, for gifting, I suggested she not stitch these first ones together until the next 4 blocks are finished, then she will be able to mix and match a bit more, genius eh! HOPEFULLY she'll be able to make her decision easier with 8 blocks.
While making the 3 tree blocks you get a lot of 6 inch triangles left over. When I made my first Scandinavian Tomte Quilt I used them for the borders, it was a bit tricky though. This time I sliced then in half to make these stars to use on the backing.
My top is now a sandwich, cute!
He will have to wait to be stitched as I made 3 sandwiches that day
My Ocean Waves quilt is under the needle first, only because it is easier to do, at least I thought it would be. I'll post the story soon.
