Ginger's Rocket Quilt

I went and picked up the rocket quilt this morning, a little bit nervous, a little bit hesitant. What if I hated it? Well, I didn't, I was over the moon (get it?). Chris (the lovely quilter lady) even trimmed it up and stitched all the way round the outside which will make binding it a breeze. Bless her. And I got all the trimmings back too - so I can probably use them for a small cushion, or a seat pad for ginger's chair. Or maybe a laundry bag.



close up....



Summersadie's quilt around the world is up and running. I am trying to decide what block to start with, hopefully I can get it done tomorrow if I pull my finger out. I was thinking a cottage block, like the ones over at Nanette's. If I started with a cottage block, then maybe I'd get a whole neighbourhood of houses, maybe some trees or something like that. That's my plan, anyway. Plus it'd look perfect without sashing.

Whilst I'm here, do me a favour and say hello to my friend Brioni . She has just started a blog. We met right here on my blog. Isn't that lovely? She has two amazing quilt tops waiting at the quilters, I saw them today and it was somewhat of an effort for me not to swipe them both. Unfortunately Chris the quilter was watching. Darn it.

Ginger's quilt rocks! though I'd just pretend I'd quilted it myself...no-one need ever know!

I love the idea of the cottage blocks! Let me know so I can copy that tutorial, unless you are sending it with the block.

I'm looking forward to starting the bee!
