Sweet tooth

I've decided this year that I'll learn how to quilt.  I know it's a dangerous hobby but I would like to say I've at least made one proper quilt in my life time and since Craftsy are doing a free course called The Craftsy Block of the Month, there's video tutorials and you can email for help and so since I don't have much in the way of fat quarters and I'm always game for a giveaway I'm entering Quokka Quilts competition with the Fat Quarter Shop.  So I've built a mosaic of pretty fabrics and hope I win it as it'll be a super sweet tooth quilt!

    If your quilt is as cute as your mosaic it will be amazing! x

    Each time I get to the aubergine (that's an eggplant for any American readers) I keep thinking, is that the odd one out part of the competition?!! I'm liking your sweet selection!

    The crafty quilt class should be a great intro to different quilting styles, a bit like the sampler quilts people used to make way ack when ... and probably still do! I can't wait to try the different styles - I've seen some at quilt shows and the classics can still look fantastic!

    Thanks Sarah, I'll have a look!

    Thank you Charlotte, I really hope I win! hehe!

    Giles, only you could point that out! It is the odd one out as it's not as sweet as the others! hehe!

    Here's to quilting! Cheers!
