So pleased to have all the blocks sewn...
Just for a play, I laid them out on our bed today... it was the only flat space big enough... golly it's going to be big... the tutorial I am using says it ends up 60 x 80 inches...
For my FNSI, I am going to start sewing the rows together.... sign ups are here for fnsi if you would like to join in...

On the weekend, I spent time preparing a new project... something I have had on my WannaDo List for a while... I'm excited to have finally made a start on it & I'll be sharing soon...
(To explain the WannaDo List, it's just me having a mental picture in which I know I want to make something, but don't have it on a timeline, but I know I will make it eventually... if that makes sense...)

Today I agreed to make a baby quilt on behalf of my family... A cousin of mine & his partner have recently become parents after a pregnancy they were not expecting... Mum bought a great little panel & a couple of co-ords from Spotlight & asked me to put it together... it's so cute, how could I not... (it's great to sew when someone else does the buying!)
Welcome to my new Followers, I hope you enjoy your visits here & let me know if you like what you see. Only a few more days until my work days start on Monday... I love the school holidays... gotta make the most of the time...

Your blocks turned out beautifully. It looks like a nice size bed quilt.
Very pretty psq! I'm working on gathering "stamps" for one myself, and I'm not sure if I want to do it with alternating white like yours, or just a variety of squares without an alternating colour. Any thoughts?
Postage Stamp blocks look fabulous...Do you what to do another ???? Hmm !!! maybe it is another project I can unload at Patch..
Fun making a wee baby quilt.
It's absolutely beautiful, Anthea! Kudos to you for having the patience to sew together (and so well) all those wee blocks.
Wow....that's what I think....
Looking stunning Anthea - does it get a border? xx
It is going to be just beautiful! Good job, Anthea.....makes me want to pull out my postage stamp charms and add to my UFO pile!
Stunning! Your blocks have turned out just stunning...I am so glad that you decided to use that fabric...it really has made up very well...I am sitting here drooling on my keyboard as I type this...I am in love with your quilt top...

I think the fabrics have turned out well too, does this mean you will keep it?
Always great to make something funded by others for a change, enjoy.
Looks fabulous Anthea. What a lot of sewing, but well worth it.
Great way to use up little scraps. Enjoy your baby quilt making.

Way to Go, Anthea! Love the postage stamps!
Looks great!
Your postage stamp quilt is going to be lovely. It must feel great to get all those little squares sewn together. Mine are still in their little piles.
The blocks look great Anthea!
Wow it looks great !!!
Wow Anthea.....
Looks fabulous Anthea...as Bonnie Hunter says "If it's still ugly, you just didn't cut it small enough!!"...and postage stamp quilts are a great way to utilise those fabrics which don't quite make it in larger pieces...sorry that your job is finishing, but bet there is something fabulous on your 2014 horizon...hope it is cooler over there for you now...
Lovely summery colours :)
We had our first Pupil Free today.
WOW that looks great! Job well done!
I loved the fabric you started with and it has turned out beautifully. You could always make it two smaller quilts.
Waow ! All these blocks are very impressive ! It will make a splendid quilt !

It's looking great Anthea. WOW yes lots of sewing...
Just popped back over to see the stamp blocks....I forgot you had a lot of white in them.
For the Dancing Nine Patch setting you would have to use a colour to separate and define the blocks ..
