Friday Finish

This week I finished the Jelly Stars quilt for our retreat next weekend. I loved making this quilt. The fabric is Aster Manor by 3 sisters and it is really lovely. The colours aren't really me so I am going to make another one out of Garden Party by Blackbird Designs and this one will be for Mum.



I had quite a bit of fabric left from the Jelly Roll and so was able to make Bloom's lovely new cushion with the leftovers. It was such an easy project - her instructions are so clear. I knocked it up while Scarlett was watching Cinderella. It was the first time I have have ever made piping - it always seemed too hard, but Rosslyn's instructions were awesome and so I had some piping success! Yay!





I am in the middle of making a few other bit's and pieces with the rest of the leftovers - Mum will have a fully co-ordinated bedroom set....quilt, cushions, table runners - it's the neverending Jelly Roll!
