Sunburst Orange Fun

Back to my fun I blogged about last month with my Sunburst template, I decided to run up another two blocks after the first one went so well.

The second block was very snazzy with the pink and orange stripe...really love that stripe :)

Check out the funky toile with the skeletons...sorry I can't remember the name of the fabric :( but I did get it from FabricWorm

The third block has a funky vibe as well, with the Flea Market yellow floral and the strobing black and white spikes...did a bit of "auditioning" for my center...the floral wasn't quite right...

But the orange with the yellow spot was better...

These three blocks will make a great table runner...

Or maybe one of those outdoor banners?

Just joking about the outdoor banner thing...I think I will put on narrow border and bind it a black pin stripe and a table runner it will be!

Look out real soon for a big catch up on my Blogger's block of the month!

Just for fun

The other day, after having a little day surgery done (removal of a mole from behind my ear) my mum decided I needed cheering up with a little colour, and bought me a couple of colourful fat quarters...

Nothing like a bit of yellow and orange to cheer oneself up...particularly paired with a spot and a bit of text....

So where are we going with this? Back in this post,  I mentioned that the kit for the "Sunburst" Quilt (Making Quilts ...promise of joy by Kathy Doughty), may be in my cupboard. I have been a bit scared of the all those pointy points and circular circles, so I busted out the templates from the kit and decided to have a go.

The block has come together surprisingly easy, and my points seem to be pointy!

The centre was a bit fiddly, but I am confident I can master it with better pinning, sewing the large circle into the floral background was very straight forward because it is a larger circle...

So maybe I should start on the kit!!! Sixteen blocks....it's a bit of a commitment! I might think about it for a bit more :)
