Well it was confetti quilting the leaves on (a la David Taylor) but I actually failed because the tulle I had was too coarse and dark and didn't look right so I fused it and put it on with tweezers

I hadn't pieced a background like that either which I got from you lot talking after Nancy or was it Lois attended a Gloria Laughman class. So thank you.

Rosemary you nut!!!!

Thank you for the encouraging comments

That's better. I sorted out all the wonkiness by overquilting and redoing the bottom borders.

How's the indigo going Maureen?

I scraped around my indigo fabric and found 9 x 6 1/2" pieces (some I didn't want to cut up, but needs must

) and have sewed them to the 3 blocks. I am going to put navy 2" sashing round them with a coloured dyed cornerstone. When I come back from Belfast and the weather gets a bit milder

I will start up an indigo vat and get some more fabric dyed. I will take some stitching to do when I am away, but we are visiting family and will probably be too busy talk, eating and partaking of the liquid kind
