Creative Week 32

I haven't touched  my knitting needles in over a week!

I have done some sewing, but can only show one thing as the others I have made are gifts, and just in case the recipients might read my blog, can't show them until later.

I wanted to make a Christmas centre piece for my son's table.


I cut out the pieces and laid them out, then sewed them together, got some wadding and backing and a little while later...


Finished!

Sewing on Sunday

Thinking about quilts for doll beds, I dug out a couple of my quilting books the other day for inspiration, but then realised I had a tin of hexagons partially sewn together and waiting to be sewn that were given to me a few years back.  (Actually I have four different groups of hexagon sizes that I have sewn over the years but will focus on these for now.)


I didn't like the way these hexagons had been sewn together as there didn't seem to be any real pattern to it so have unpicked some of them and am now resewing them together.  



Various colours


I have left some of the groups of three that were sewn together as is for now and starting to sew flowers.  I have been working out the colour combinations as seen in the above photo - random, but within a loose colour scheme.  So far two are finished, the yellows and the purples to the right of the picture. I would have liked a more 'boy orientated' colour scheme, but as these are already cut out and partially sewn it seems silly not to use them first.  I wonder if it is too ambitious to aim to have at least one doll bed quilt finished using these before the end of the month?
