Only one more panel completed for Roundabout! Life has been pretty busy here with all manner of happenings so time at the machine has been limited. Here's a photo of the present layout below, sadly not level because I couldn't quite reach the top RH side to pin, I'll deal with that this afternoon.
My original idea was to mix all colours of strips but after finishing up the top panel I decided to try and go with the same layout for each of the four. I've changed up a few of the fabrics when I found I sometimes only had one strip, you can see the ones I substituted where necessary but still keeping to the colour layout.
The design is from the book by Stuart Hillard chock full of excellent designs to use up scraps.
My only other quilt related item is a piece of Art Gallery Fabric - design from the Charlotte range, luckily I spotted this online 1.6 metres so a good amount to work with.
Here in New Zealand we are officially enjoying the last month of Winter, Spring is around the corner come September. Down in the garden the freesia are beginning to put on a performance and it's a delight to walk past them with their beautiful scent.
I can see that dreaded oxalis weed trying to take over, somehow I need to get out and weed pretty soon. I shall be going solo for some of the time dealing with this chore and only around 15 minutes at one time, husband is in a bad way with one of his hips and up for replacement surgery so guess who will be in charge here!!
Lunch is calling - potato and leek soup with kumara sourdough bread, a nice thick toasted slice. Back in a few days, all being well.
