Windy Wednesday

On my patch of the planet it is always WINDY.. can visit my mum in the next suburb and yep, no wind! Today is Windy and cool, as apposed to yesterdays 33C temp.. I hate summer, but more and more here in Australia I am beginning to hate spring too.. bring back autumn I say..

Well today I usually work, but I am so up to date, my boss let me have the day off.. hmm that'll learn me for being efficient!


So I thought I have put the humungous what was I thinking project on the bed for awhile so I'll see how I am going.. what do you think?? I was thinking "Yipeeeeeee!! nearly done.. second pic shows how much I have to go... (please ignore artistically arranged pillows on the floor)


I am pretty happy with how its turning out, and I don't have that much to go (probably 50 flowers TOPS).. of course I have to work out what I am doing for the top border... half flowers maybe, not sure, but hey, I am not thinking that far in advance...

I never plan my quilts.. and believe me, it shows! LOL I am a 'just see what happens' type of person, so this quilt has been a problem from the start.. I didn't want to repeat fabrics in the top, they are all 1930's and maybe a couple of ring ins that worked but my aim was to only use 30's fabrics.. and I guesstimated I'd need about 400.. well it turns out I didn't need that many.. *sigh* but hey, I have never met a 1930's fabric I didn't like! :O)

Of course, if you have met one you didn't like, I am always happy to adopt! LOL



till next time
