Good Morning Star Shine

I've added some more to my low volume quilt. I thought I would show you how it was looking. Easier said than done.


I took to the grass in desperation. It worked, eventually.


The quilt top currently measures 45" x 63". I've got to decide if I am going to add more to it. I am undecided - sort of. I want to add more, but need to cut some more low volume charms I think. And there is a lot I have to do to get ready for the retreat and then end of the school year. So what I think I will do is put it aside for the moment and come back to it when time allows.

It does make me happy though.


As I've had two sick girls at home the last couple of days looking at happy inducing fabric is good. What on earth is a tummy virus doing around here at this time of year?!

    Oh gosh I hope you don't get ill too. Starve a fever, feed a cold... or is it the other way round? I'm on anti-bacterials for a mystery illness at the moment. Nurse originally told me that I was probably pregnant, I nearly died. Tablets are working though so it must be a different type of parasite ;)

    Fabulous top! You must be really pleased and a great way to use LV charms!

    Sorry to hear about the girls though and I'm beginning to panic about being ready for FQ!!

    Hope your girls feel better soon! Maybe you could wave your quilt-in-progress around to chase away the bugs and make everyone feel cheerful? It's lovely!

    It's beautiful, and i think you're right, put it aside for now, and come back to it when you get a little more time after Retreat, no point rushing it and wishing you'd made it bigger later on! :o). x

    It is a very pretty top! (IMHO I think it needs to be wider...)

    So now the song is singing in my head, and it is not that great a song, although pretty happy all the same. I love this quilt, and I hope the tummy bug disappears soon.

    It looks wonderful, makes me want to go low volume shopping! Hope the girls recover quickly, I find that the last few weeks fo term are really precious and should not be spoiled by sickness!
