A scrappy one

So this is what my scrap blocks I was working on a while ago turned into. I'm not super enthralled with it - I made it lots of colours but with an emphasis on green and cream - and I don't think it is either lively or coherent enough. But I will quilt it in something random and use it to cover a bed....



Other than that the week is passing by in a peaceable fashion. Some huge summer storms but we think we have the roof leak fixed now. Famous last words! The only roof we've had that didn't leak was our first house - a little square brick cottage built in the 1950s and solid as a rock. The next two were 1970s with fancy roof lines and they leak like buggery. I spent yesterday racing around on various errands but I feel as though I've got it slightly under control after being away. Not Christmas though, that's not even close to under control. But who needs presents? No-one in my family.

  1. hi lynley i really like your top. i think if you added a cream inner border and a green outer border you might like it better. may tie it all together. either way, it's very pretty. and i'm in the same boar with you about Christmas - no where near ready for it! :)

  3. Or at least they don't need Christmas presents exactly on Christmas Day, right??? "They're in the mail" or at least, hopefully will be tomorrow :-)
    I know you're not a huge fan of pink but there seems to be quite a bit of that in there too, could bring pink into the borders?

  4. I really like the quilt. Green is my favorite color, so it works for me.

    I really should have gone out Christmas shopping last night, but it snowed, so I used that as an excuse to go to bed early instead. (yep, I'm in the Northern Hemisphere)

  5. I really like it too. What am I saying? - as usual I am stunned and awed by your talent, industry and general brilliance. On the other hand, what do I know?
