Camelot(ing) along

I'm finding the Camelot blocks very addictive.

This is Block 15 and I tried to get a secondary flow going with the swirly fabric.










This one is Block 13



And Block 8 where I got all unintentionally clever and managed to include a piece of fabric with the year that this was made.


 And then Block 6 which is going to be redone in parts because I spectacularly cocked up on my inability to get it to do what it was supposed to do - look nice and lie flat.



But then I moved on to Block 12 and I just love the way it looks. Confidence levels rose a bit once more, having subsided when I made a dogs dinner of piecing the centre circle, so took it out and decided applique was the way to go.


And then before you know it, you are over half-way there...

....but not quite for me as I'm still planning on adding another four blocks of my own to get it to a rectangular quilt. 

I just haven't quite got my big girl's pants on for that bit yet.

  4. Wow! you're really getting there, well done. You have completely inspired me to get this pattern and get going on it, instead of just thinking about it. But first I have to force myself to finish my WIP list. Boooooooring.

  5. These are amazing! Have you seen the king George quilt that someone has been providing patterns for online? I can send you the link if you'd like. The blocks would go do well with these.
