On the home front, the scraps are now transformed into... this layout. I string-pieced the scraps for the sashing and fused and machine zig-zagged the flowers. I'm hoping it'll piece together okay as there are a lot of seams in the sashing which could be bulky when it's all sewn up, but so far so good. I have, of course, got a lot of scraps left so I maybe see another Chinese Coin Doll Quilt on the horizon (get a grip, girl, you haven't finished this one yet). With a border, it should measure 18 X 22 inches.

Oh, pretty! I think it will sew up fine as long as everything ironed to within an inch of it's life :o)
Love the colors.
What a fun quilt - the colors just sing with such a happy, joyful song. I love absolutely everything about it! The flowers are so folky and free - they go with the rest of it perfectly. What a lucky lady she will be - whoever gets this quilt from you.

Just wanted to say I reaslly like the quilt and also hi from aother quilter in Leicestershire. If you aren't too far away we've got a festival on this weekend - have a look at my blog for more details.
You have a very good reason to put your other projects on the side if it is to come up with such a lovely result. It is cheerful, so bright like a summer field and makes me want to start making one just like that straight away! Not that I don´t have other projects either! Take care.
I love it!
