FNWF

I was lucky and started my FNWF in the afternoon. We had a break in the rain and the sun came out so I decided to baste outside
It was cold out but at least I was a little bit out of the wind

I finished the one above, so decided to do another and had just enough pins!

It is hard to see but the quilt is partially quilted, I have done the serpentine stitch along seam lines.

Just the centre area is done here with serpentine stitch along straight lines again. More needs to be done.

I was watching Silent Witness last night, so gave up the quilting and cut and glued a few more shapes for sewing hearts, not a programme just to listen to.
This quilt top is finished, for now although the instructions say to add another border, but as I made my blocks 10 inches rather than six and a half I think it is big enough. But then I do have half square triangles left from trimming....mmmmm....
So I had a busy afternoon and evening
You can check up on the creations from FNWF's here at Cheryll's blog.
Happy stitching.
