In progress - colourful pinwheel quilt

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 - purple stripes quilt

I'm in the middle of making this quilt using lots of purply Kaffe Fassett shot cotton stripey fabrics - the first time I've ever made something to 'match our sofa', a phrase I used to scoff at when I heard people choosing to buy paintings when I worked in an art gallery. A sign of growing up or selling out?
