Tuffted Tweets Quilt top

A sneak peek at what I'm working on currently. While waiting for further instructions on the Trip Around the World quilt, decided to cut into the lovely tufted tweets FQ pack.


Spent ages trying to decide what to do with it, went to Oh Frannson! and Red Pepper Quilts for inspiration. There are so many wonderful patterns to try out. Decided to go with a simple and therefore quick to finish modified log cabin. Each block consists of a 5" centre square surrounded by 2.5" border. Figure I need about 25 blocks to make a single quilt top. Haven't decided if I want to use the essex linen as a border yet. Will see how it goes.


Also tried my hand at a baby bib. Used the free tutorial from chickpea studio. Used the nylon type (waterproof) material which was purchased from Japan, as well as installed my first snap button.  Not too bad an attempt :)
