How time flies

Another month gone by since I last posted. I'm still working on echo quilting each of the 'logs' in my log cabin quilt - it's going to take quite a bit of time to do it. And I still haven't decided on a name for it yet.

I have also been working on a child-size hourglass quilt made from Sandi Henderson's Meadowsweet range of fabric, together with white Kona fabric. I can't seem to get a good full-size picture of it as all the photographs look 'washed out', but you should get an idea of what it looks like from this one.

Update

A quick update on my progress. Last week I went along to the local quilt shop and purchased a backing for the green log cabin quilt, though I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with it. Anyway, I basted the layers together and have started to echo quilt each 'log' by hand. I love to sit outside on the deck and watch the wildlife in the garden while I'm stitching but, due to the unseasonably hot weather we're having at the moment in southern Ontario, it's warm work.





I've also started to sew my hourglass blocks together for another quilt top. Not really sure exactly how I want the finished quilt to look yet, so it's a sort of personal mystery quilt. I'll finish ironing the blocks today and start to lay them out and decide whether to use sashings or not.
