Project 8 - Asian Nights Quilt

I finished piecing the blocks for the Asian Nights quilt top and layed them out (with baited breath, hoping I got it right in the end).  Thank you to those who offered advice on getting the colour placement right.  It was good advice..........check it out!



I must say I quite like it.

I haven't sewed the rows together yet (obviously) as I think I will make the extra 32 blocks required for the large version. 

When I'm going to make the extra 32 blocks for the large version is another question.  I am pondering whether to start on them straight away, now - or to continue on to the next project and finish this one off after I've done with this book.

But then again, I keep looking at the Jinny Beyer kits just sitting there......I'm in a rush to get stuck into one of those.

I'll sleep on it.

Cheers all and Happy New Year

  3. Ahhh Margarita - this is the small size which you can run up in a couple of days. Well, for an experienced quilter, probably in an afternoon!

  4. Suzie the Jinny kits are soooo tempting, but I want to get my skills up first. I'd hate to mess them up. The quicker I get through this tutorial, the closer those kits are to being made.

  6. That looks lovely. You are motoring along so well. I am plodding with my strip pieced quilt, it has been just too hot to sew, (or do anything else for that matter). I love reading about your progress and seeing the pics of what you have done.

  7. I don't know whether you know this... Hancocks in the USA sometimes offer free postage (domestic/overseas).On google, search for Hanocks Paducah. Right at the top where it says "HOP Mail sign up", follow directions to receive their weekly emails. I heard about this gem on the Aust. thread of PR. Cat1
