Scrappy HST's and not so scrappy HST's


2x2 metres of lovely scrapiness ready for some serious basting. It's a huge sofa quilt. However, in our house it's not at all uncommen to cuddle up two people under one quilt so it might just be the perfect size anyway :)


Scrappy warm/cool quilt

I bought some extra thick fleece backing. Today is an absolutely perfect autumn day with the softest light and small breeze but with this quilt we're (almost) ready to brace cold weather and long dark evenings.

With this one almost off the sewing table I'm ready to move on to the next project - the Chevron QAL. My fabrics are still in piles but now with pencil markings on the lighter fabric. In other words, I'm ready for chain sewing a lot of HTS's. So yes...another HTS project  :)  But very different from the one above.

  4. Cuddling up together on the sofa under the same quilt/blanket is the best. As long as each gets their own duvet at night. ;)

    It's turning out great. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
