Mum's been helping me have a clean up of all my (many) piles in my sewing room. She's been very encouraging, and I can hardly believe how good it looks. While going through said piles, I did come across all these wonderful bright scraps - far too good to put in the "round file". In order to de-stress from all the tidying, I quietly started making some blocks while mum was having her afternoon nap. Don't look too closely at the uneven bits, but I really like it. Much better than in a pile in a snap lock bag.
. . . and thanks for all the lovely comments about my blocks inside blocks. It wasn't 'till I looked closely that I realised that I was showing it to you upside down, so here it is again.
. . . time for bed

It is truly amazing what you can create with a few scraps. I would like to have your talent. I think you have made another wonderful quilt top.
Upside down? I can not believe you, the 'wrong' side was equally beautiful.
Lovely when your Mum helps you sort your messes! Everytime you look at your block quilt it looks different, I love it.
Love what you are doing with your Scraps they Look Great so Far & Also Love your Blocks Quilt it looks Fantastic...
cheers
I can just imagine how many bits of scraps you have! Good work.
Annie, you are THE most amazing quilter. I love the way that you work so organically and end up with simply beautiful quilts. You are my quilting hero. Just gorgeous.
I was about to write "bloody genius" and I looked at the word verification... "ingenuc"... at first glance, I thought it was going to say "ingenious".
Anyway... you're a bloody genius, woman!!! My quilting hero, too.
Go Annie,
Love both of them!
Fabuloso, em
I love it! It looks like colourful gardens glimpsed through a window and the colours are fabulous.
Your blocks quilt looks great either way up!

Your stripy blocks create such a fab optical illusion, -reminds me of M.C Escher. x
gorgeous work!
Greetings from Tunisia! Just happened upon your fun blog and enjoyed your quilts and the fabrics that you use. Very lovely.

Just goes to show, the block pattern is stunning and intricate whichever way it is presented.
Annie, the scrappy blocks make you think you are looking through a window, they are brilliant!
