Blogger's Choice Fat Quarter Bundle

Have you seen the challenge Quokka Quilts has organized in conjunction with the Fat Quarter Shop?   After seeing the fabulous bundles other bloggers came up with I just had to give it a try myself. Not as easy as one would think. With the hundreds and hundreds of available fabrics there are literary thousands of combinations possible. Funny enough, the two fabric I started with didn't make in the end.  I decided to only use up to two fabrics from the same fabric line (except for the solids). The combination I came up with very much reflects the colour mood I'm currently in. 

1. Happy Mochi Yum Yum Blueberry India 

2. Happy Mochi Yum Yum Blueberry Fiji

3. Dazzle Sky Blue Flowers

4. Ruby Cotton Aqua Sundae 

5. Folk Heart Red Floral Lattice 

6.  Modernology Rose Mod Vines 

7. Modernology Sachet Impressions 

8. Dazzle Sky Blue Circles

9. Pear Tree Bright Blue Partridge 

10. Taza Yellow Ribbon Damask

11. Taza Yellow Lisa

12. Sorbet Watermelon Tiny Flowers

13. Bella Solids Hay Yardage

14. Bella Solids Ruby Ice Yardage

15. Bella Solids Christmas Red 

Go and take a look and give it a go. It really is a lot of fun!

Review of 2011

Projects finished in 2011

Finished tops, waiting to be quilted

Works in Progress

Tessellation quilt

scrap quilt

I hope to have above quilts finished by the same time next year! I just need determination and willpower not to start too many projects along the way.

There are a few more but I wouldn't call them "works in progress" as I haven't worked on them in a long time. Maybe they should be called "works abandoned". 

Wishing you all a wonderful and happy New Year ahead with hopefully lots of inspiration as well as lots of time to stitch.
