Almost there...

...but not quite


I need to add four more rows and then I'm done.

I didn't use a whole jelly roll in the end. It was getting beyond tedious cutting everything up into little 2 1/2 inch squares so I took out maybe 10 different shades of what is already in there. Hopefully the rainbow effect is not lost.



I also have some 'thank yous' to do.

To Margi for giving my blog a much needed spring clean. If you fancy changing your blog and paying someone else a very reasonable sum of $CAD ask Margi.

A thank you too to Geta who very kindly sent me a copy of her new book


I'm going to have a flick through it this coming weekend and see what I can attempt.

And finally, a big thank you to Susan who sent me this a little while back...


...for no other reason than I unashamedly hinted I'd like one when I first saw one similar on her blog.

Thank you to all of you.

    I love your new look - it's so clean and fresh - it's different but still feels like you. I also love the HST rainbow quilt and the new book looks interesting, I can't wait to see what you make first! Gorgeous pouch from Susan too!

    Love the quilt top. You obviously have far more patience than me. And your welcome for the pouch.

    That quilt is wicked cool. I love the bold colours, and I love how you used the black and white print as the 'solid' contrast. Very clever use of fabric!

    what a pretty HST quilt you've made. That's a clever way to lay them out. Well done.
