Ohio Star Quilts and the perfect binding

Recently I finished the second of the #milaandcuatroOhioStar quilts I have been making for my daughters.  When Ruby saw her one finished she exclaimed ecstatically:

#spherepicnicquilt - all finished and ready for ... winter???

I'm so pleased to share a finish with you - my Sphere picnic quilt!

Scrapbuster Bow Hairtie

I saw this cute Oliver + S Bow Hair Tie but wanted something that was a bit more scrap friendly, especially if you've got surplus 2 1/2 inch strips, so I made some similar but different:

A WIP and a Sneak peak

My brown bag doll's quilt currently looks like this:

I am busy getting ready for the Fugly Fabric Party, I've been organising my stash so I can see what is surplus to requirements and where my gaps are - I'm hoping to arrange a swap (or two, or three).  The fabric I'm offering isn't necessarily ugly, it's just surplus to requirements.  Did you know that not only is it about fabric, but there will also be a link party for unwanted WIPs (hosted by quokkaquilts).

Here's a sneak peak of some fabric (there'll be more) I'm going to offer up for a swap ...

Also, I'm having a cull in my vintage bed linen stash (I'm never going to get through all those sheets) ...

Not only that, but I have some granny squares that are surplus to requirements ...

So if you have something for which "You've lost that lovin' feeling", why not join in?
