One Quilt - September.

This month was my month in our
One Quilt project, and as it's the beginning of October now, finished blocks for my quilt are starting to appear....

I finished my own block yesterday, and thought I should share:



I've got a bit of a thing for pinwheels at the moment, so I paper pieced the triangles together, and then appliqued the finished shape onto the white backing fabric. It's a little wonky, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. I'm a bit concerned that the corners might fray though - I'm sure there's some secret trick to doing perfect corners, but alas, I don't know it.

For the rest of the squares, I sent out colour coded bundles to the other 11 participants, comprised of scraps from my stash - each person got a pile of scraps in either red, blue, green or orange/yellow, plus a fat quarter of white homespun. You can see some of the scraps here:





I wanted to end up with a bright, scrappy quilt on a white background - something a bit eccentric and all over the place, so I wasn't too anal about giving instructions - and so far the results are coming up perfect:

This one from
Craftlog is right on the money - and I was hoping someone would do a log cabin - I've got a bit of a thing for them, though I've never made one myself.....



And check out this one from
Dorie - such a complex bit of piecing - I love the stars, and if I had the patience I'd love to make a full quilt in this pattern - gorgeous!




As more blocks come in, I'll be sure to share them - I can't wait to have a quilt that has been made by so many talented hands.... such a privilege, no?

Have a good weekend, m'dears.....
