Scraptastic

The first quilt finish of the year!
I have quilted 3 Linus quilts so far this month, this one, another one Dorothy took to finish hand sewing the binding and another waiting for binding. I have been finishing up quilt tops before starting something new and BQL have a scraptastic challenge so I have been able to tick lots of boxes with a few finishes and donate to Linus as well so a win, win situation.
I was waiting for a delivery of batting and decided to try fleece because I had some in the cupboard, a combination of fullness in the top and movement in the fleece, I am pretty sure it will be a long time before I do that again. I have been given some poly batting for the Linus quilts and it is a bit poofy for my liking and likes to shift about but I shall  persevere.
I am waiting for a few threads to be delivered now before starting a couple of lovely quilts I am looking forward to playing with.
I had a great day yesterday at Rocheberie School House Quilters, meeting old friends and new and we all came home with a lovely box of threads, fabulous.
Till next time. Liz
