WiP Wednesday

I rarely do WiP Wednesday but have decided to start on the basis that it might focus my mind now that I'm going to have other commitments.

So keeping it real, I shall list only a couple of things.

First up are my blocks for the City Sampler. Since starting these last Friday I have made the first 15 blocks, which are all crosses. These blocks come together so easily and I am loving the combination of different Tula Pink lines and Oakshott. I have a way to catch up with the sewalong, which are at the mid fifties but who knows, I might do!


Second up is my gorgeous Stitch Tease quilt top, the theme for which was curves.


I have the batting and I'm going to do a pieced back...just need to decide on the fabrics. The only thing is that I left a lot of my basting pins at my mum's and so energy is required to face basting it with thread...and if I do that then I'm quite tempted to hand quilt it on my big hoop! Am I mad?

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced.

    I love your bravery to hand quilt. I think you sewed up those city blocks quick, and I need to take a que from you. :)

    Still loving your City Sampler Blocks. I haven't sewn any in a few weeks and need to get back on the band wagon.

    Your quilt top is so lovely. I think if you are going to go to the trouble of thread basting, you might as well hand quilt it!

    Your City blocks are the nicest I've seen! Love those vibrant colours you do so well Annabella!

    Either would be lovely - custom FMQ or concentric circles or hand quilting! Any would be perfect I'd say!

    Your City Sampler blocks are really fabulous. I love the idea of Tula mixed with Oakshott. Hand quilting is fun, it'll give you the time to enjoy all those Stitch Tease blocks.

    Beautiful blocks! I love how colorful they are. And they quilt top is absolutely gorgeous. Hand quilting a whole quilt is a big project, but it will look gorgeous. Can't wait to see how you end up quilting it.

    love the cross blocks and the curves. hand quilting and sewing I find are relaxing. time consuming but relaxing and I find that I have more attachment to the quilt.
