Paper Piecing Addiction

I feel like that is what I have at the moment.

"Lancaster Quilt"

I sat down on the floor Monday and worked out how
many clam shells I needed for the top/outer edge of this border.



I felt like I made good progress.
I went back to it yesterday and I only had a few left to
do on the second row.




but then I had to do some more prep work for the third row.
This was when I realised that I need more of some of the fabrics to get a
nice even spread of print and colour so away it went until
I can get to my LQS and pick up the next pack of fabrics.




And out came a Mother's Day pressie
Hex on the Beach







It is a little addictive. I burnt tea and we ended up with pizza, whoops!

I have also been playing with a new app on the Ipad.
It's called "A Beautiful Mess" if your interested.


have a "Fancy" day,
hugs Sharon
