Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Progress on UFO quilt.
Last week at the Quilt Shop UFO workshop, Leanne and I played around with my completed blocks until we agreed on a layout. Then we discussed how I could do the borders. I took photos with my Ipad but can't post them here (computer illiterate after 15 years, lol) so I took some photos at home once I had sewn all the blocks together and added the first border. I am restricting myself to only using the fabrics that were in the bag when I found the makings of this quilt. I had enough of the small print burgundy/green fabric to use for the first border. Leanne suggested I used all the half square triangles to make the second border, as I had already sewn them into 2 inch squares. But I doubt if there will be enough to go all around the quilt, so I will just add them to the top and bottom. The third border will be the plain green, as I have enough of that to do the backing as well. The binding will be in a small length of burgundy which was in the bag and probably intended for binding anyway.
it's coming together nicely, look forward to seeing the next stage
