Its February already!
My new year creativeness has turned into a bit of a fabric hunting obsession for my quilt.
I have resorted to scouring ebay which can be a little frustrating and sometimes the fabric is not what you expect.
I do love the print below its a Liberty piece called Geralds circles.
The quality of this fabric is crazy, its almost like silk, which makes the piecing of the patchwork quite crisp, if not a little slippy!

This is another Liberty print, that I'm not so sure I like, I guess I could always sell it back!
Its the strawberry thief print.
This is a bigger piece, I thought I might make some cushions to go on the bed.
I love the way you can make patterns depending on how you cut the fabric.
I have just bought another fabric and I'm bidding on more, its quite tricky to know if they will all go together, but I guess that's the beauty of patchwork.
Here it is so far. Its not the final arrangement. I need some paler fabrics.
I have however tacked all the white hexagons to their templates so they are good to go!
phew!!!
To round off this morning/afternoon (whoops),I have won Marys giveaway!!!!
Thankyou !!

So you do patchwork as well as paint?!!! You are very talented Clare (as if you need me to tell you so)! I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Very interesting shapes you are using too.
It's going to look really lovely!!

That's lovely!! I particularly like the rosy star! x
How clever are you, is there anything you can’t do!
I love the fabric so pretty; I can’t wait to see it done!

I thought your header was a tile pattern. I think the rosy star would look just perfect on my bathroom wall -have you thought of printing tiles! You have made the whole far more than the sum of the parts! I don't always like the Morris fabrics for Liberty but love that purple strawberry thief and that other fabric - drool! t.x
