Ta da! A finished quilt top. Fortunately after my previous post I found my rhythm with these blocks and there was much less unintentional seam ripping action with the last two rows than there was with the first three :)
Now all I need to do is back, baste, quilt and bind it before Sunday! There won't be much housework done around here in the next few days that is for sure :)
So that's my progress looking forward to seeing yours.

Housework should come waaaaay done the list. If you do it, it only has to be done again. Good luck with getting all that work done - it's going to look brilliant - doesn't it match the bridge nicely too:-)
ReplyDelete*down* the list....
DeleteThis is fantastic! I love layout and colour contrasts. If I ever make another one, I'll copy your zigzag design!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt top. I just love the colors.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are fabulous! Your quilt top is wonderful. I can't imagine getting it done by Sunday (that's because I'm slow and let other things take precedence) but wish you the best!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! It is going to be a great quilt. I agree with Catherine, housework never ends. Good luck with getting it finished.
ReplyDeleteWe were in London last year it was wonderful. We had Tea at Harrods yumm.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt.
I think your quilt is very beautiful, and I completely agree about housework - it should come very low on a list of priorities! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, since I have taken up patchwork housework has been slipping down the list so much it rarely gets a look in until there is no alternative :)
DeleteYou are going to be flat out getting it all done by Sunday, but you definitely have your priorities right. It looks fabulous!!!
ReplyDeletesound like a fab weekend, and the quilt top looks fab, great design and so pleased blocks behaved eventually!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh what an exciting weekend! So are you planning a wedding quilt already? ;)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top is so cool! Never seen the chevron done that way. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt esp with the way that you've laid out the blocks. Hope you enjoyed London (tho I think that the worst bit about the shard is that it spoils the view of the Tower!)
ReplyDeletelove this layout of the scrappy trip!! Your colors are awesome too. Quilting before housework- for SURE. :) Thanks so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday!

I'm sure your son will love his quilt. My son, when asked what colours would he like for a quilt, without skipping a beat said 'red, blue and grey, and green and black and white'. Why? I asked. 'Because they are Spiderman, Batman and Robin colours!' He's 3. I think I have a 4th birthday project lined up!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a son who knows what he likes Bess, that will make life easy when you are fabric shopping :)
DeleteReally nice quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope my son agrees with you :)
DeleteInteresting photo of the Tower Bridge I never knew it was partly painted in blue, in this photo it looks quiet beautiful, not dark and gloomy at all. Your quilt top is a stunner. Cheers Glenda
ReplyDeleteI suspect your son lives near my Aunt and Uncle, rather a handy place to stop in London :o)
