Florence's quilt


No guessing who this is for then! Florence happens to be the granddaughter of a good friend in Manchester. Her two siblings have each had one so couldn't not do one for Florence when she arrived on the scene a few months ago. This one is really bright. 9 very simple star shapes so far. I happened to go to a Quilt Fair in Nantwich on Sunday with some friends and came home with an empty purse plus an ideal colourful backing fabric amongst other items!
As you can see I have constructed the blocks. Need to stitch them together now and think of
a border next. (so much for careful planning from start to finish!!). Watch this space. I'll need to find out what that is in Welsh so that I can pass it on to you. Meanwhile I have to tell the welsh class tonight what I have been doing today!! The only word that pops into my head at the moment is cwiltio. Not too difficult to guess what that means! Till next time (tan tro nesa).

      I looked on your blog too and think you paintings are really really good. You must get cracking and have some prints done. I'll be your agent! kate
