PennyDog Patchwork (and illustration, recipes, other crafts…)

First things first, those who were interested in the half rectangle triangle solution, go visit this thread here. I’ve not actually tried it yet as I got a bit fed up with them

I thought I’d try and get on top of my sewing obligations today!

Here’s Brittany’s quilt top for Around the Bend and Across the Pond- I added the panel to the left- two diamond blocks with cat fabric, plus a scattering of squares and a cat appliqué  I used the metallic Aurifil for the black details and I really liked using it- none of the usual metallic thread problems to be seen!

Next up, I angelled on the second round of UK Borders Agency and this is round 2 done for Wendy. I added the duck egg blue border and the diamondy bias-y barber pole border. It’s my turn on her quilt for round 3 so I’m hanging onto this rather than posting it off, I have a month or so to come up with another border for it.

I’m also working on the 4″ x 36″ pinwheel row for the Popular Patchwork row by row swap. HOWEVER I got about halfway in and discovered I had made them way too small and I can’t face starting from scratch again today. Maybe I will do it tomorrow.

And for those who are interested in progress on Fryed Pixels, it’s looking alright and I’m now making eye pieces though I’m not convinced I will finish by the end of the month as planned!
