This pattern gave me more trouble than any of the other three. I could not get my head round how the pieces fitted together, and which of the two different lattice shapes went where. The piece above is my second effort - I ditched the first one after realising that the measurements were wrong and it would not fit with last week's piece.
This time it will fit - phew.
You can clearly see my stitches in this close up. Its is hard to decide what colour to use when there is such a high contrast. My usual choice is a murky grey, but that did not work with the low volume fabrics.
There are 59 pieces to add to the count, making a total of 239 for Life Under Quilts' Monday morning linky.
Today everyone in the UK has a day off - the first Monday in May. As the sun is out, everyone will be going bonkers with a rusty BBQ in flip flops and Hawaiian shirts. If I take Miss Ted into the garden she will keep her socks on - it is a chilly 12 degrees Celsius out there.
Wonderful progress! It's a holiday here in Japan, too - and still quite cool in Hokkaido.

Yowzah! Watching your quilt-in-progress is addictive. Isn't math wonderful? And your little teddy friend is wonderful too, and so sensible. Keeping her socks firmly on this fickle spring time weather is just the sort of wisdom that has earned teddy bears the respect they deserve.
ReplyDeleteAH!!! That is simply gorgeous!!!!! Really--outstanding!! I just keep going back to the pictures!! Beautiful. I agree with Glenda--it is addictive to keep watching your progress! Miss Ted is so very cute. She is quite lucky to get to hold that beautiful section of your quilt. I hope you enjoyed your holiday...we in the US will have a Monday off at the end of May, so I spent my day at work. :) I rushed home, got dinner in the oven and ran over to the computer to see what you have been up to!! It is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMiss Ted - does she teach?
ReplyDeleteShe's given all that up now, for a life of leisure and hand knits.
DeleteThose links are so cool! Quite a contrast to the blues and yet they fit so well. We have a holdiay coming up this Monday and I think its going to be about 12 degrees.
ReplyDeletethis looks fiendishly complicated. You are making good progress
