Soon to get cracking on the G block!
Somebody counted all the fabric bits; defenitely lots of bits.
This is it,my choice of fabrics for the moment! I have some more cut out, just in case and also a Clover sharp-as-ever seam ripper, just in case. I am an expert using seam ripper.
Block G here I come, soon, one of these days. In fact looing forward to sewing
the block together.
As you can see,I love useing lids :-) The white pieces of paper in the background says inches etc. Makes it look tidy,I think,hope it works out when I start sewing.
Happy Quilting to you all.

Hello Grethe
They look very nice all of your fabrics. Lots of flowers in the garden and all of them in the same level of colour. I am sure you will succeed. Happy sewing.

Hi Grethe, I love your fabrics:))
I'm from Portugal and I will try to seek help in spite of my difficulties in English!
I've never done patchwork and I'm trying to figure how much fabric do I have to buy. For this image I have concluded that there are 10 different types of tissue, but do not know the amount. Will someone help me?!
Thanks
Sofia
It's me again, I forgot to click the email!!!
wow you are so organised with all this.........will make it easier when you want to but your blocks together.......
How neat it looks in that lid Grethe, how long do you think it's gonna last ?
Mine are in a basket all mixed up, I know they will be anyway when I start putting fabric in and out when I get to piecing the blocks.
Sofia, on page 7 you will find "Fabric Requirements" for this quilt. You need 20 cms of each of the 10 fabrics you choose.
Wow you are so organised, your fabric choices are lovely. I used very similar fabrics in a Bronwyn hayes quilt i just finished. Happy stitching.
Grethe it looks organised like a quilt already
OMG! You are so organised. I'm off to cut all mine up tonight too. Can't wait to see your first block.
Gorgeous fabrics, and very well organised! I had part of mine cut up a few years ago and now have to look through them to see what I did and didn't cut....fun fun fun.....
