Where was I?

I've been in Adelaide with the family. I could have blogged from there, but I forgot the cord for my laptop, and the tablet was not co-operating with Blogger, so I just gave up.

Before I left I got these blocks put together into a top, and I still haven't decided if it needs a border. Maybe a narrow one? 

Don't know what I want to do next; I found some scraps that looked nice together and make a 9" block. It's pretty, but I don't think I have more of those fabrics. I'll put it in the box with my other blocks that size, and I might be able to find some co-ordinating fabrics to make more.

Quilt tops from the archives:

This one used up a lot of 2" squares, left over from a Trip Around The World. It's based on a Quiltedtwins pattern but I chose not to do the triple sashing. It was a great scrap buster, I'd like to do another one when my scraps have built up again.

This one was to whittle down my grey fabrics.

I seem to have collected far too many, so a simple triangle pattern helped thin them out. I threw in a few aqua and apricot triangles to lighten it up. It was fun to make, but I still have a lot of grey fabric.

This top was just 2.5 and 1.5" strips.

It went together really easily, just some fun piecing for a quick top.

My daughter Seonaid and family went up to visit my son Rhys and family in Brisbane, right in the middle of some horrendous storm activity. It was bad timing, so many lightning storms that it wasn't safe to be outside for a lot of the time. There was a lot of reading and playing inside instead.

Isla was very good with her small cousins, she read them so many books, and carried Charli everywhere. And Freddy whenever possible.

They ventured out on Halloween for a spot of trick or treating, which is not huge in Australia. I love how Finn and Theo hold hands when they walk.

This photo is of the same pair last year. I can't believe they have both grown so much. It seems to happen so quickly.
