Monday is officially our 'Spring Bank Holiday' - we call the odd Monday's we get off throughout the year here 'Bank Holidays' (unsure of the origin of the name) This particular one sort of used to coincide with Whitsuntide - or Pentecost in the Christian calendar but as the majority of Brits don't really go to church much I guess it's just become 'that long weekend at the end of May' as it's always the last Monday in May. It also coincides with the children's half term holiday so they get the whole week off. As at the moment I work term time only in a school it means that I get the week off too - YIPPEE!!!!!!!. Before I worked in a school I used to dread the kids being at home worrying about how to occupy them - now I love it as it means I get a break too :o)<br><br>Love the two quilts, especially the jewel box one - a pattern I've long wanted to make up - so many quilts, so little time sigh!<br><br>Anneanne bebbingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05309865834133057671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-3023935773261950452006-05-27T22:52:00.000-05:002006-05-27T22:52:00.000-05:00Hi Linda, nice to see you,and gosh, it's late!...Hi Linda, nice to see you,and gosh, it's late! I've just finished watching a movie and quilting on some pinwheels. Sounds like you had a really busy, but fun day..*VBS* Hurray for new bits of fabric!!<br><br>I can tell you that I don't do much of anything special when putting scraps together. The cake stand blocks(most of them) were the result of being in a nickle swap. I had always wanted to do that block..and alot of those prints I used seemed a good size for a small block. Actually I don't really sort them out or pair them up. If you look at the size triangles I was using, and at repeats, you can see that I could get one or two big triangles(base( or several small ones. I filled in here and there from my scraps. I kind of let one color "lead" me to what comes next..does that make sense? I suppose that a darker one slips in keeps the top from reading as all one thing.<br>The X blocks(window pane? broken dishes?) are completely from my stash. I wanted something equally pastel so it didn't jump out too much...that's how that part happened, but not til I knew I was finishing it for your group.<br><br>The bow ties are almost always made with scrappy backgrounds. I do them all of one kind if I am selling the quilt. Most non quilters just don't get the scrappy thing. I like them either way..all of one thing or all mixed up. But I do use both background pieced the same in a block.<br>I'm really happy to hear that your work part of these was fun for you..*VBS*<br>Personally I can sit and look at fabric in quilt squares all day..*VBS* Guess I got the quilt pox, huh??? *VBS* Catch ya later!!Finnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03604360039344389285noreply@blogger.com
