My second paper pieced block. This is one had two parts to each square, I’m really pleased I managed to get the pattern on the deep purple fabric going in the same direction.

Sun Ray Block Cusion
Over the weekend I had a go at paper piecing, using a craftsy online class. I’ve tried paper piecing before & had lots of problems working out the size of the fabric to stitch & flip. I’m really pleased with the results. Here’s the other side.
Now I need to find time to make the other 2 blocks! Then I can have a new set of Cusions on the sofa.

School centenary quilt
The school quilt is finally finished, it’s been about a year since the start of the project.
I chose the Dresden plate block as your school badge is an aster. Our school colours are purple & green ( yes that’s right suffragette colours) with blue & white.
As you probably realise it’s a girls grammar school ( although we have a few boys in the sixth form)
Mum & I have mainly worked on the quilt, although a few members of staff & sixth form ( mainly my physics set) put some quilting stitches in.
I’m really happy with the finished result. The last time the staff saw it we were quilting round the blocks. I just hope they like it at school, & all the hard work will be worth it.
Please excuse the photos the only place I could find to place it in good light was the conservatory sofa.

Spring Flower Fairy Quilt
The first of my seasonal wall quilts, flower fairies for spring, well they look spring like to me.
It’s starting to make my small box room quite relaxing & the room has flower fairy curtains ( so far too light, to take any photos)
