a new project

well

you know how it is, a "friend" passes on a few pieces of fabric, after all, I'm a scrap quilter

in the bag are half-a-dozen paper pieces, basted to fabric already

thought I'd just make a flower hexagon

just for fun, you know

next thing, I'm logging on to a graph paper generator and printing my own paper templates




fast forward.....a rummage through my (meager) scrap collection and I have this....
followed by these
and eventually, this




problem is, I have run out of red/neutral/green, and I can't find the right charm squares on-line

at least I have a WIP, so I'll get a new project box, label it, and keep my eye out for little bits to "feed" my quilt

oh, credit where it's due, the original quilt design can be found here  Bonnie Hunter is a genius!!

Hello....hello....

A new blog and a new start

I'm going to try and document my quilting journey, both hand and machine piecing.

Looking forward to meeting you all in blog-land....
