Oh my. I missed the 1st of March....

Well here I am... Ready to go....

I have had a few busy days and the weather is heating up... 35 c today and heading for 38 c over the weekend... Thankfully I have air con in my workroom.

I have been busy outside painting gates and doing some gardening and the mosies love me. I spend all night scratching... Just terrible...

Anyway... Sewing time...

First up. It's the beginning of the month and time to throw some dice.

Here is my 2016 UFO list

This months UFO project to work on is........

No 7... Road to Jericho.

No 7... Road to Jerhico

How lucky am I that I actually got this out last month on a workshop day and got the top pieced. All I have to now do is quilt it.... How easy is that...

Have a look here to see where and why it began....

Last months UFO was wonky Starburst quilt from the RSC 14 project.

I did get it quilted and binding half sewn on. I have finished the binding and it ready to send to an AUSSIE HERO...

I do have to add something before I post it but that will be kept for the Aussie Hero web site...

Binding is on and after I add the name on to it it will be in the post too.

The. I got finished another Aussie Hero quilt and Laundry bag. Both were quilted last month but today I got the bindings done and the labels on... So they are in the mail.

The laundry bag is complete.

Another Aussie Hero quilt is in the mail

My friend Sue made this quilt top quite a while ago. I resized it and used some to make the above laundry bag.... Thanks Sue. It hopefully will make someone happy....

My FRIDAY SEWING

I have had a good, hot, long day sewing with friends. Actually it was with the Kilmore Quilters all day sit n sew. 10am-10pm..

I didn't know what to take with me to work on. I go into my workroom and have a look around. I grabbed a box with a long time UFO in it. There were parts of 3 projects using the same fabrics. All the fabric is in there. Enough for borders, backing and binding. All the blocks had been done. I just had to work out how to put it all together.

How do I make a quilt with these

There were crossroads to Jehrico blocks originally made when I was in the Sunbury group. Each block was made by a member in the group. As with any group project all the blocks turn out different sizes. Once trimmed square there was 1/2" difference btween them. I added purple borders to them to make them up to 12" blocks.

The smaller blocks were from an online SAL...  I added corner triangles in the background fabric to the blocks to make them up to size.

Blocks all measure 12" now

and then there were the filler blocks. Hour glass and half square triangles.

I got them all to fit together and I am so happy with it.

Blocks joined with the filler blocks

Then I got the borders added.

Ready for quilting

On Monday I will get it basted ready for quilting..

This is also a project on my UFO resolutions list...

I got to it sooner than expected but I do have a special person in mind to give it too.
