Shopping!

This week I've been very busy with my job, no time to sew. But I did have time to shop, and I bought some fabrics:

More stripes! The fabric I used for the blocks I allready finished was sold out, but I found another striped fabric that I can use.

For a new quilt (for a boy) I found these:

I want to combine these with darkblue, I'm still thinking about which pattern I'll use. It was hard to find fabric for teenage-boys, flowers were absolutely forbidden, just like pink, dots, or too childish prints. We're still in discussion about the frogs :).





Something completely different

After sewing all those little pieces I felt for something different: big blocks, no pattern and a little fantasy. I guess this is creazy quilting! I used a left-over fabric (Ikea) with different coloured stripes, and cut them into long strips. Then I cut and sew just pieces with the idea of a log cabin block.

All the blocks are about 13 inches (35 cm), I want to make a few more for a picknickplaid (the fabric is very strong). So this is a good reason to go to Ikea!
