Friday Night with Friends


Well here I am at last, have been a bit busy running around with DD14.
What did I get up to?....... Well last month DD22 was admiring a double hour glass 12 " block I was making for my swap buddy ( except she calls it a cotton reel) when she asked " can I have a quilt made with those". DD22 does not have many quilts because nothing seems to be modern enough for her. So I pounced on this and said well there is a jelly roll that has been begging to be made, have a look see if it is suitable. Surprise, surprise yep that's good. So before she changes her mind last night I stitched strips together and even got some of the blocks done. Today DD22 is wanting to know if her quilt is finished yet, no pressure, think I'll take my time make her keener.





Thanks to Cheryll for hosting and Thanks to you for stopping by :)

    Great work so far on the quilt. I'm lucky as my daughter loves the same things as I do.

    You did have a productive FNwF. That's going to be a very pretty quilt once you've got it finished.
