A Walk in The Woods ~ Quilt Top

No Mondayitis here. I have made an early start this week, and have not allowed Monday slip by in a blur, as is often the case. 


Of course it helps that the school/Summer holidays are now in full swing, and that the teens consider themselves independent, and enjoy a fair amount of freedom; all of which leaves me plenty of time to spend with my fabric stash, rotary cutter, and sewing machine.  I am not complaining.


As promised I have cut right into my Fat Eight bundle of A Walk in the Woods by Aneela Hoey (Moda) (See Sunday Stash #123).  Unfortunately the tumbler block design only allowed for three such blocks to be cut from each fat eight piece of fabric, however it also meant that I have had to delve back into my fabric stash to add a little extra to the quilt top.


I couldn't think of an easier way to extend my small collection of A Walk in the Woods than by adding fabrics from the Sherbet Pips and Little Apples collections, both also designed by Aneela Hoey.  These fabric collections compliment each other and combine delightfully.


In addition to Aneela's fabric collections (Sherbet Pips, Little Apples, and A Walk in the Woods), I have also used (see above image):

      I am now preparing the quilt backing, and getting myself organized to start quilting.

      Thank you for stopping by,
      Rita

      5. Ok. I finally figured out your secret. You have little elves that cut out, press and sew while you sleep. That is the only explanation I can come up with for the speed in which you crank out all those lovely quilts, knitting projects and taking care of the family. Just wanted to drop a note to let you know how inspirational I find your blog.

      9. I love how you combined these collections. I'm about to start a baby quilt for my children's godmother, who is expecting her first baby. I'm going to be combining some Sherbet Pips, Little Apples and Children at Play. Should be fun!

      14. I am totally gobsmacked at the speed you produce these lovely creations! I can only assume that you do not need more than an hour of sleep per night.
