As I've mentioned, I recently discovered how easy it is to make quarter-square triangles and half-square triangles. This quilt was the result - I used a charm pack of 5inch square shot cotton plains, and some scrap pieces of Kaffe Fassett shot cotton stripes from my fabric stash. The colours are just wonderful I think! Just need to quilt it now - I'm hoping to spend a happy afternoon soon with my mum using her amazing long armed quilting frame. I'll post the results once it's finished...

In progress - Indigo baby quilt
I bought a stash of Indigo patterned fat quarters and white-on-white printed fabrics last time I went to a big quilt show. I cut some of it up into 2inch and 2.5inch squares, and then ran out of steam. But I've recently discovered how to make quarter-square-triangle blocks, and so I used up some of the larger squares to for this, and turned it into Ohio Stars. I still need to back it, but I'm planning to sew buttons on as laid out here to quilt it simply.
Another baby-sized quilt, but as I (stupidly, as always!) didn't wash the fabric before I got carried away starting, and as it's indigo it will inevitably run, this of course won't be suitable for a baby as I don't think you'd ever be able to wash it without it ruining! So it will have to become a wall quilt instead. Ah well...
