PTS9

Otherwise known as Pillow Talk Swap (Round 9). Still one (if not) my favourite swap on Flickr at the moment.

My starting point was the hugely popular 'X and Y' block. Amy has a very good tutorial for it on her blog. I then substituted the four corners from each block with a Drunkards Path block and came up with this.





The back has a zip....


...which veers off slightly because I was multi-tasking and got distracted by the male presenter on "The Great British Bake Off."

I suspect I'm not the only one.


And as a little aside. My 'Absolutely NEVER EVER Again' quilt is hanging out in all it's Kristafied glory here, here and here.

I can't wait to see it in person.

    I might have to start watching the bake off again. I watched one episode way back, making battenberg cake. Most of the contestants were so incompetent I couldn't watch!
