Firstly, I wanted to say a huge thankyou to everyone who commented on my post yesterday. I think making all the half square triangles had finally got to me!
I was very flattered that most of you said not to change anything but I decided to make changes anyway! I took out 3 fabrics completely and swopped them for a new one. The changes arnt drastic but I think it looks more serene and harmonious which is the look I was going for. Here is the new arrangement:
Im a little happier with it now, but I may still add/takeaway something else. Im just waiting for some new fabric to arrive.
Florida here I come!!! I am SO exited about this trip, not so thrilled about the 8 hour flight with a 2 and 5 year old but their ladybird trunkis filled with toys and activities should help!
So, what am I going to do without a sewing machine for two weeks?
Kandi very kindly posted a link to a fab website where you can print off your hexies for free and make whatever size you want. I didnt realise just how time consuming cutting all these out would be! If I had the time to wait for Mr postman I would have bought one of Kandis kits from her Etsy shop.
(Almost)Finally, I have been green with envy at all those people who went to the Spring Quilt Market in Utah. Reading that people were getting their hands on new fabric lines was just making me more envious that we are the last to get all the good stuff here in England. So, I decided to look into what might be going on a little closer to home and ended up getting one of these:
Yes! Im going to the festival of quilts in August!
Finally, I have added the blogpress app to my Iphone just Incase I just have to share something with you whilst I'm away and bookmarked google reader on my phone so I can keep up with all of you!
Wish me luck in finding some fabrics shops when I'm not in Disneyland!
Your quilt looks so beautiful. Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is just beautiful, I can't see what you would want to change.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, it's such a pleasant way to pass the time sewing little hexies, I see something special being made you have the best tastes in fabrics! Have a wonderful time and try not to exceed the baggage limit with fabrics from the USA!

Just back from Orlando myself - flew with a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 month old (fun!). The best I can suggest for fabrics is jo ann east on the 192. They are open till 9pm so I went one evening on my own.....bliss!
ReplyDeleteI too am heading to Orlando. We leave on Sunday... I'll be there Monday, staying a few miles from Disney. We are driving, and my wife is letting me take my sewing machine!
