Goth Quilt progress update.

 Well the car still won't start but Husband is buying a new battery for it today. My friend Anna has promised to help fit it. Yes, I know that should be a manly job but he won't have time because of work commitments. If he had time I would have had a new battery by now.

I am at home waiting for Tesco to bring me my groceries. I hope they don't forget me. Normally they send a text to confirm your delivery slot but I haven't had one of those. To keep my mind of it I have been cutting more 2.5inch triangles and chain stitching them. You will be glad to learn that the missing 4 black blocks turned up.

As of this morning I have 10 blocks. For the eagle eyed amongst  you the picture shows 8 blocks.  I was so pleased to have found the missing ones I took a picture and have not gotten round to taking one with all 10. I intend to make 30 blocks in total so only 20 to go.

Other WIPs include the monochrome quilt, the blue green quilt and the granny squares quilt that all need basting and quilting. I have backing and wadding for two of them just can't find the space to baste. I have decided to rent to basting room/table at my local quilt shop. It will be so much easier on the back and knees. Also there will be no little black dog trying to "help".

There is a cross stitch sampler I am working on and also a hexagon quilt is lingering somewhere.

I am going to iron the pile of little half square triangles now. Fingers crossed my groceries turn up.

Linking to Freshly pieced WIP Wednesday.

  2. Thanks for sharing your goth quilt. I have been afraid to use black (I usually default to navy blue) but love how your quilt is coming together. I have pulled my black solids out and will now ponder how to use them. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

  3. I usually turn to white for the background, but with these bright colours the black is really gorgeous!
