Firstly, a new member for the UFO club :-)
From a pattern in APQ April 2011, another scrappy quilt, but rather a pretty one I think. A couple of first for me as I've not made an on point setting quilt before and I certainly have never sewn so many Flying Geese !! I have a feeling that this might just jump to the top of the 'to quilt' list.
We all know that there are lots of new things to be learnt from wandering around Blog land, and this little quilt is certainly something different, and I love it !
Just 16 1/2 inches square, it's from Vicki's tutorial for her Whirly Twirly Dresden block . I went with the black background , but go and have a look at the different colour variations.
Lastly, I saw this very simple, very quick but very useful pouch on Connie's blog, and followed the link to this blog for the tutorial. Don't you just love following links and finding lots of treasures ?
I had a practice piece of FMQ lying around, which was only enough for one , but I am sure it won't be the only one to be made.
So - that's me for a little while, time to cover up the machines, switch everything off and go pack my bag! See you soon!!

The Whirly Twirly block is amazing! I am so excited for you to have a new knee. No more pain and more ease at getting around. Good luck. Keeping you in my prayers!
Beautiful work!! Wishing you all the very best with the new knee procedure and recovery.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Beautiful projects, you have accomplished a lot. I hope your swap quilt reaches you as soon as you get home from the hospital. I'm thinking of you.

Good luck with your knee! Your scrappy quilt is gorgeous, and the Whirly Twirly looks fabulous on black.
Thank you for sharing the twirly whirly block and linking us all to the tutorial. I can see all sorts of possibilities for this.
Hello Ann,
The quilt top is a beauty, such lovely colours. It will look wonderful when it is finished.
All the best with the knee.
