Block 6 redo and WIP

I spent 2 hours last night redoing Block 6 and now Block 7 is ready to start. I am very happy I redid this and must say that I used pins and tried really hard!!! Herringbone is not easy and I will have more respect for quilts i see it in!!
I am still working on my Sugar Crosses but have decided to start another QAL. This time i will be doing a beginner QAL so I can learn a bit more.

Quilt 3

Well after I finished Margot's quilt I finished son number 1's quilt. I had done the top before I had starting the Owl and before Son number 2's quilt but was very scared to put it together. the new machine out pay to that. I bought a charm pack and a jelly roll of Moda's basic grey/max & whiskers. Then I had to try to work out what to do. I made my own pattern but as I had only made one quilt previously, I was a bit out of my depth. Overall, I like the quilt and the quilting is just stitch in the ditch.

More Previous Projects

I went to upload some photos to find that the camera cards have not been uploaded to the computer since January! 
 
So these are my finished projects (bar 1). The second quilt I finished was an Twilight Owl. I made it for my daughter and quilted it when I bought my Bernina machine in the pre Christmas sales. The material is just from Spotlight and the left overs that made up the border are from my first quilt. The backing material I picked out at my local sewing store (Jenny's Sewing Centre in Angaston). I didn't write down the name of the material but I will start doing that now. I machine appliqued the owl. The pattern is an adaptation of the quilt "Hoos' Sleeping" by Fiona Tully from the Australian Homespun magazine ( No 96, Vol 12.5). My daughter loves the quilt. The colour and stipling is supposed to remind you of twilight. Most people just like the owl.

Block 3

I am very lucky as my husband bought tea so I could do these blocks and now I have done the first 3!!! I am having a little trouble with cutting out too much but I will get it sussed.
