Quilts in progress.

On monday this is what the stream looked like, the water is moving and the ice is melting.  It was sunny, but chilly outside.  Then the weather report came along, white fluffy stuff is coming again. It is time for the next round of snow, tiny little flakes are falling at the moment.
Finding the Way
The triangle squares, drawing the lines from corner to corner.
Then creating the pairs.  Placing one cream square on top of a coloured square.
Sewing a quarter of an inch on either side of the line and cutting on this drawn line, once the sewing is done.  This then creates two squares, made up out of two triangles each.  This is a good way to sew, without having to worry about the bias edges of the triangles.
 Trimming the squares, making sure they are all the same size.
The rest of the squares awaiting their turn for trimming.

The Hertfordshire Quilt
The diamond border is next.  English Paper Piecing this border.
Using Clover clips, to keep everything together, no need to pin.

Baby blanket

Quite a number of friends will become grandparents this year, so the wool will be knitted into baby blankets.

  4. What lovely projects you have in progress. The HSTs are so monotonous, but yield some wonderful possibilities.
