Quilt in Progress


Daylight saving time began yesterday in France, which means lots of light for crafting in the evenings. I think I'll need it -- I've been bitten by the quilting bug.

Here's the beginning of a quilt that I'm making based on the inspiring pattern here. The one that I'm making will have 35 blocks like these (with a mixture of vintage and new fabrics), and I can't wait to see it come together!

Have a great week and à bientôt!

Comme on dirait en espagnol, "¡tiene muy buena pinta!" = ce quilt a l'air d'être très bien!
Je n'ai pas essayé encore d'en faire un, mais en voyant ces merveilles ça donne envie.
