Preparing and repairing
I spent the afternoon basting the little squares quilt, so hopefully I’ll be able to start quilting it tomorrow. I’m so looking forward to quilting this one, both because I just love the colours so much so I want to see it finished, and also because I’ve been planning out how to quilt it. I’ve…
This could get expensive
I made a start on quilting the eye-spy quilt yesterday. I didn’t get very far, unfortunately, because after about half an hour I suddenly seemed to have lost all my carefully practised skill at controlling the speed.

The last one, definitely the last one.

I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
