it is this big
I've been working away at my rose star quilt. I thought I was done making blocks but I decided to add one more row (I can't help myself). I have 4 blocks left to make and will then start work on the border. It's been a while since you've seen a progress shot of the whole thing and not all sewn up so here you go:
Too busy to bother measuring it so you will just have to trust me when I say it is this big.
Here's the latest 2 blocks to start the last row:
Busy, busy finishing other projects but nothing beats coming back to this one and spending the evening English paper piecing. Ah even basting the shapes brings me joy, especially since I've got faster. I have a plan for the border and I think it might take a while so this will not get done this FAL quarter but I don't care. Loving every laid back stitch.

A wonderful world of WIPs
This is a full on WIP report, I'm pretty sure I've missed some things off but I flew round with my camera trying to get pictures of everything while being followed by a wee bairn.
finished
Giant Chevron Quilt - fabulous pattern by Jess. This is a Christmas gift for a friend so I can cross that off my Making Christmas list.

Feather Bee Quilt - I'm still working on hand quilting and absolutely LOVING it! And the cherry on the cake will be this gorgeous Alison Glass feathers fabric I will use for the binding. Fabulous service and lovely wrapping from The Intrepid Thread
Rose Star Quilt - here's all my random pieces I've sewn together so far and two lone rose stars
I have a way to go to get it to the size I want but it's progressing nicely and it's a labour of love
Teeny Liberty EPP - this is pure madness but I've made 3 little flowers and they are so cute! That's the baby's hand for scale ;)
Commissioned quilt - I've picked some lovely girly fabrics out for a simple patchwork quilt (I'm adding this to my Making Christmas list)
Embroidered ABC quilt - all ready to be bound
Rainbow Log Cabin Quilt 2.0 - needs basting so quilting can commence

Stitchings in progress
Secret project - I've been having fun with this one!
So that's all the things I'm up to!! Not much ;)
Need time to relax too so I picked up the latest copy of Love Patchwork and Quilting, including a fun supplement with pixel patterns by Tula Pink
**Karen is giving away 3 copies of Love Patchwork and Quilting - giveaway closes 19th Nov**
Although most of my reading is generally done with the little one. I'm sure this book used to be mine as a child, it's well loved and she just adores those bears!

what? pardon? huh? sorry.
That's pretty much what I find myself saying all day. I can't really pay attention to anything, I don't really know what anyone is talking about, I forget EVERYTHING and, at this point, I'm pretty sure I've built up a tolerance to caffeine. Sleep deprivation has taken over.
Despite it all I've done a bit of basting for my crazy small Liberty scraps EPP:
To give you a vague idea of scale they are smaller than the dots on my tablecloth and they actually make Lois' cup seem like a monster!!
And here's the cutey herself - she's practically running with the walker now so most of the pics were blurry!
