A thing for solids

I have two projects I am working on at the moment. I seem to be completely unable to work on one thing at a time. Apparently I also seem to have developed a bit of a thing for solids.

I have started making flying geese units with my Oakshott rubies. I love these shot cotton fabrics - they absolutely shimmer, especially in the light.


I have used one of the new Sketch fabrics as the background for these (mist) - it's a lovely soft blue grey. The neighbour's cat couldn't resist getting in on my photoshoot.


The other project I am working on is my super secret entry for the quilt competition Helen of the Little Craft Store is organising. I'm pretending its a secret, but actually I'm just not very far along with it. I can however, reveal that the pattern has some quite cool tricks for speedy piecing. It all begins with strip piecing.


In the back of my mind I am trying to think of something to make for our Monday Modern quilt challenge. We are all making small quilts (30x40") that demonstrate a twist on traditional quilting.  Once again, I am playing around with the idea of using solids. See what I mean about a thing for solids?

    OOh - now that I see it, I wish I had ordered some of the sketch mist in Helen's sale. Looks lovely with the oakshots.
