Scrappy trip quilt

Finally given in and deceided to make a scrappy trip around the world quilt using Bonnie Hunters superb instructions. As we have a super king sized Victorian iron bed it hhas to be 120" wide to reach the floor at the sides and about 100" from top to foot so as I don't want to make borders I need a 10x8 setting so 80 blocks!!! I've made 30 in about a week and a half and can't stop it's like eating Pringles!!! everything else has gone on the backburner so hopefully the top will be finished before Easter, you never know may be a new quilt for my bed for spring. I'll post photos when I've done more blocks.

Two more quilts now in the pipe-line one for project Linus and one for a resident in the same care home as my MIL.
 
The cat quilt is a panel I've had for years and at last it's finding a good home

quilt dispatched

The Log Cabin quilt has been dispatched to its new home . Hope Jackie likes it .
Next on the list for a finish is a diary cover but it is mostly black so sewing in fits and starts and a quilt made from a cat panel for one of the ladies in MILs care home who has had to leave her cat behind when she move to the home and she misses her so much.

Finally sorted the pictures with my picture fairy AKA my daughter hope you all like this.
