creak... swoosh...swoosh...ekhe...ekhe

Ok, now that I've removed all the dust and cobwebs, I can show you a bit of what I've been up to.
First of all, I'm very happy I managed to finish the wedding quilt for my little sister (cousin, that is)in time. The only thing I did not managed was to take a decent photo of the quilt. Still, I can show you some quilt details.

the dark side - after it's been washed
the light side
and the binding is scrappy

Also, these plans I hinted at in the previous post stopped being a secret, so let me present you the beginnings of a quilt for my husband:

I started with EPP letters but then tried some improv ones and (don't laugh at me too much) I love the feeling of freedom that goes with this sort of piecing, so I'm sewing most of them this way.

Can you guess what the full text will say? (I assure you it contains no swearing).

  5. i love your letters. after doing paper piecing, free piecing can be so freeing and have such dynamic results.
