Stitch Tease October Blocks

by | 15.10.2013 | Uncategorized | 17 comments

This month it was Val’s turn in Stitch Tease, and she chose a flock of geese in raspberry, gold and a little dark grey with whites, creams and soft greys in the background.  I might have whimpered a lot little because triangles and I have a bit of a hate-hate relationship, and also because my pink and varied low volume selection is woeful.  Still, I dug through my FQs, my charm swaps and my scraps and came up triumphant on the fabric front, and the triangles turned out not too awful…

Now for the love of god, will the rest of my bees avoid too much more LV before the Black Friday sales?!  Please and thank you.

**Reminder to anyone who wants to play along with the last quarter of the FAL with Leanne, the link up closes tonight at midnight MST (which is 7am in the UK)  Hurry on over for your last chance to win prizes for this year!

    Fab block, love it, well done! I am next month, and there isn't much in the way of LV, maybe a little round the outside of the blocks :o)

    I LOVE IT!!! Thank you thank you! I'm sorry if it was a stressful block! For what it's worth, your fabric selection is spot on and your piecing is perfection. I'm so excited about this quilt!!

    These are gorgeous! Well done! And it's tough when you're stash develops deficits at a budget-unfriendly time, eh? 🙂
