I'm supposed to be finishing off my Fire & Ice quilt so I started putting the blocks together into the quilt top recently - the only place big enough to lay it out was the decking in the back garden but I valiantly battled the breezes to find a composition that worked so now all I need to do is trim all the blocks to size and get the whole thing assembled; it's going to look completely different to how I originally invisioned it but I think it will work out well.
In the meantime I decided I needed something a bit lighter to work on and recently came across a new blog which caught my eye and fell in love with the owners delightful quilts. I am sorely tempted to pick up a few of her patterns but in the meantime I have set to work following her free tutorial to make a Flower Garden Pillow. She uses an kind of machine applique which I haven't come across before and which I think might be just the thing to hold my flying geese quilt together so I thought I'd try it out on a little wall hanging to brighten up my new room. I shall post pictures of my work in progress later but for now here is the inspiration:
