Sewing in September

Yet again, another month dominated by sewing a quilt for my little niece/nephew! It's H's turn this time, and I've been seriously working to churn out blocks for his first birthday quilt. The first 40 blocks took me four months, the next 40 took me a week! Now to piece them and decide on quilting - I'm thinking diagonal lines through the centre of each block.

Here's the blocks

And the completed rows so far, from both sides of the door!:

The rows are coming together quickly, and I'm hoping to have it all pieced by the end of next week, as we've got a huge number of commitments this week, especially my brother in laws wedding (speaking of, I gave up on embroidering their cushions, I found a good phrase but my embroidery skills just aren't up to it!)

Here's their cushions:

I've also been making the odd little bit like this fabric basket and toy tidy:

Hopefully this will be finished by the end of October so that it can go up North at half term, and so that I can finally crack on with other things!
