Sew and Tell Friday and Sewn Together Quilt Bee

Not achieved that much this week, I was ill in bed on Sunday and Monday, but feeling much better now.

I started work on my pin wheel blocks for the ORBC Pinwheel Quilt Along.  I have got 18 fabrics by Sandi Hendersonfor Michael Miller, these are the first 6 yielding 12 blocks, I am planning a quilt for our bed which is a UK King size, so another 24 blocks to go.


I also made a start on my son's train quilt, not my favourite fabric but he loves it!


Finally, my fabric arrived today for Month 1 of the Sewn Together Quilt Bee I have joined.  I will be doing two wonky log cabin blocks with them - how exciting!  My month is June and my head is buzzing with ideas.



I am posting this with Sew and Tell Friday, go and check out what everyone else has done.

    Nice pinwheels--I was going to wait for some finishes to start, but I couldn't resist either. Glad you're feeling better.
