my creative space - {slow} progress

I'm still working on longer term projects over here (and look, photos from my camera, not my phone!). I've finished the layout and strips of this little baby quilt and am just laying it out to work out the best order to sew them together.

I love a scrappy quilt because it gives me a chance to mix and match all those bits and pieces of fabrics that I've collected over the years, and I usually have some left for the next project. And I just love the look of it, so homemade and so many stories. There are vintage, designer, cheapie spotlight and my fabrics in this mix. (And can you see a little bit of my precious piece of Cam's Go Granny Squares in there?!)

One of these days I'll buy fabric with a project in mind and cut out all the pieces first and then sew. That must be a nice relaxing way to make. Its coming soon but I still enjoy this muddly, pottery way of making something. It gives me a chance to play with my own designs and see how they mix and match, how they work at different sizes and what the colour scheme I've chosen looks best with.

Gives me lots of inspiration for the next collection :-)
