Red City Duo QAL Quilt Top

Thanks very much for all the well wishes for the small Dino who is much improved.  Unfortunately, my mum has now succumbed badly to the lurgy and has flu and is generally unwell. While she has been out of action today and in between making soup and visiting the pharmacy, I have been able to make a start on my Duo QAL quilt top using my Moroccan Mirage fabrics.

The Duo QAL is being hosted by Rhonda and Rachel and the block they have chosen is based on concentric squares.  Clearly, they are not control freaks as they have left size and design to us, which is all very grown up.  I am hoping to make a lap size quilt and should hopefully have all the blocks cut in a couple of days. It`s decided to get a little gloomy here today so the photo was taken under electric lighting and so I`ll have a look again tomorrow to see whether the colours in the image are realistic.

I should really have practiced my free motion quilting so that I could link up with Cindy but completely forgot and as I was a major nudger for Cindy to host the link-up, I`m hoping she hasn`t gotten me down for a flaky goodfornothing wotsit! Tomorrow, I shall put something up and grovel unreservedly.

It`s not all flu and bed baths here.  There is good news.  I have had my hair cut and eyebrows waxed so I`m looking quite groomed (if you ignore my feet, which badly need a pedi) and I`m booked for a short visit to Paris at the beginning of December to visit my dear and real life friend Deborah. HURRAH!
