Gypsy Wife scraps is now a flimsy...


My Gypsy Wife progress.
I bought the pattern from Amitie in Torquay.
It is a great design by Jen.

All those different strips working well together.
It's amazing how different they look when placed with a lot of different varieties.


Getting the first sections sewn together.


This is where I'm at now..
Half the quilt is done and I think it's turning out just great so far.




Sorry the photos seem a bit hazey.. HERE IT IS AS A TOP.

I was really enjoying the sewing of this and continued until the top was done.

Thanks to the donation of the beige strips there is a lot of varieties.
There are a few mistakes but overall I am happy with the results so far. 



The little navy and gold stars got mixed up and now I notice one of them should be at the centre bottom of the quilt. It can stay right where it is.
I will do another of these with scraps again... taking note of where I went wrong on this one.

GYPSY WIFE SCRAPS HAS STARTED.

I was given all the orphan blocks from everyone's scrap bags at our local quilt group.
It was to make a charity quilt.
I decided I would give the GYPSY WIFE A GO.
I bought the pattern book from Amitie in Torquay.

Look at all the blocks I have been given.
Now to make them all fit into this brilliant quilt.


I HAVE GOT ALL THE BLOCKS WORKED OUT.
Doesn't look like much so I happen it looks better when it's sewn.


I was given a few strips last week.


Now to wait for some more  neutral strips to be donated so I can continue.
