I made a test block from one of the patterns, since I'm looking for a quilt that looks scrappy, and it's ment to be a quilt for a boy.
What do you think? The block mesures 12", so it doesn't take that long to build a top big enough.
I forgot to show you my little table runner made of triangles, just so I can practice my skills on hand quilting.
I got so inspired by Kviltstina's quilt, the one she uses as her blog background. It is a really beautiful quilt. So I had to give it a try :o)
I find it hard to start and stop, attaching the threads. But I guess I'll get there.
I really love to hand quilt, but it takes so much time, so I am only doing that for special quilts. I am thinking of making a miniature quilt one day, with scrappy spools, maybe in some reproduction fabrics. I have bought some few now and then, but I need to build up that stash some more, to get the variations I want.
Im looking forward to the weekend, hopeing to spend some time in the sewing room again. I want to start work on some Easter projects, and I guess that will be my focus project this month.Happy sewing,
Laila

Du er helt rå med alle de flotte teppene:-))Tenker jeg tar med noen grytklut emner når vi drar på hytta i morgen. Så blir det å sy litt;-)
Ha en fin og kreativ helg
Ohhh.. that was a surprise... :o) Glad I could inspire ..not knowing..:o)) But I have to agree with you.. I love my quilt... and I love your version too.. and I think it is a good choice to handquilt it..:o) Please show the whole quilt when you are finshed..:o)
Så kjekt at du kosar deg med blokker, dette kjem til å bli skikkeleg fint, gledar meg å sjå meir!
Great test blocks and I can't wait to see your finished quilt.
The quilt block for the boys quilt looks good, you chose the right colours for a boy. And I like your handquilting a lot, it makes the triangles look special.

Jeg er så utrolig enig med deg. Judy Martins quilter er fantastiske. Det jeg bedst liker med quilting er toppe som faktisk er patchwork..... Jeg har hendes Scraps og ser ofte i den, drømmer om at sy noen av de fine quilter :O)
Tror definitivt du er på rett spor med den blokka hvis du skal ha teppe til en gutt/mann - dette er farger og et klassisk mønster som kan glede i mange år fremover, så nå som du har begynt er det bare å fortseette :o)
Kjempefine trekanter! Synes håndquiltingen din ser kjempefin ut - skulle ønske jeg hadde tålmodighet til å håndquilte - sukk!
Ha en kjempefin helg! Håper du finner masse tid å tilbringe på syrommet! Quilteklem fra meg
Your test block is very impressive. I LOVE it - a lot!
