Helen has been quietly working on this octagon beauty by hand for not that long really. The blocks are @ 10" and go together quickly she assures us. A great pattern to highlight large scale printsLook what arrived today - my spring swap gift from Erica in the US
! How sweet is this - a pretty cushion from dresden petals (here they are again) and some fat quarters to go with it. PLUS Erica made the card as well - what a clever girl she is and a lovely swap partner too.

Other gifts are on Flickr - check them out. Just beautiful.
Want the world to see your quilt? The V and A have a virtual quilt show going in conjunction with their quilt exhibition and you can put yours in it here. I did and there are lots of others - really interesting quilts from all over the world. Thanks to an Aussie Erica for the info.
Entries have closed for our quilt show - over two hundred items! Can you believe it and to think we were worried we wouldn't have enough. Lots of people have volunteered to help over the five days - thanks in advance to you all. Let the fun begin!!

The octagons make a nice look. I can see that it would be a good design to showcase some larger prints.
ReplyDeleteI really like that octagon block with the large floral prints -- now I'm just trying to figure out how to make one smaller and scrappier.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the V&A -- I uploaded a photo and have enjoyed looking at all the other quilts. Wish I could go to the quilt exhibition.
