Thanks! I’ve never heard of that series but I expect the recipient of this quilt will have done!

Quilt no. 180 - my son asked me to make this for his friend’s birthday - he’s into WWI, dragons, wild boar and his family tartan! Quite the combination 🤭

Quilt no. 179 - another small block quilt, this time with a rainbow vibe. It would be a good play mat for a little person! 🌈👶👍😁

Quilt no. 178 - lots of green scraps! Decided not to stitch in the ditch as some of the blocks were slightly out of sync 😛. Added a bit of green gingham on the back to hang it up 💚💚💚

As these blocks are fairly small, I’m wondering if I should stitch in the ditch to keep the appearance of this top layer, and not cover up the images. I’ve never actually tried it before - can any of you more experienced quilters advise me? Thanks in advance 👍

Thank you! 182 rectangles (4” x 3”). Used up lots of odd pieces of fabric, which is very satisfying. Just need to quilt it tomorrow.

Sorting out my scraps resulted in this all green quilt! 💚💚💚

These are mini flags (made from 6” squares). A bit fiddly but quite cute when done 😛

Nice fold, not gold! My thumbs are too big for my phone 🤭

6. Iron the flap down to get a nice gold at the top 7. Tuck the flap inside the cone 8. Tada! You have a bunting flag 👍

3. Sew along right side 4. Turn right side out and make a cone shape, with a seam down the back. 5. Iron it to flatten the seams

1. 8 inch square of any bits of fabric 2. Fold to make a triangle

Should say “piece of fabric” 😛

zebra1011.bsky.social @zebra1011.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
When I get home I’ll make one and take photos as I go - once you’ve got the hang of it you just can’t stop! Great way to use up scraps 👍

zebra1011.bsky.social @zebra1011.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Then you have a kind of cone shape, with the seam down the back. Iron it flat, turning the pointy bit at the top of the cone over (to make a flap). Tuck the flap into the cone and you have your triangle. Stitch the tape so it folds over the top and hides the raw edges. Does that make sense?

zebra1011.bsky.social @zebra1011.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
They are so simple - you make an 8 inch square - can be one whole oice of fabric, or lots of bits. Vertical stripes look the best, I think. With the piece right side up, fold the bottom left corner to the top right, making a triangle. Sew down the right hand side. Turn it right side out

Making bunting from my scrap fabrics is seriously addictive! This is a 21 flag bunting, with 3 flags of each colour. Just need to sew it to the tape now!

I used to have a VW Beetle, then a VW motorhome and now have a VW 7-seater - they are so reliable 👍. I was concerned that we would struggle with the heat this weekend, after the scorching summer we’ve had here in the UK, but now it looks like we’re in for thunderstorms for the next few days 😬

Who would have thought that sewing bits of fabric together could bring so much joy?

I’ve taken a break from quilts to make loads of bunting! It’s been fun to use up scraps and make bunting to take to the VW Festival this weekend. I hope the campers and motorhome owners will appreciate them 🤞⛺️

Quilt no. 177 - a bright rainbow with an even brighter back - I had a long piece of the jazzy fabric which is perfect for the back 🌈😎✌️

Quilt no. 175 - Camper vans Mk III - I’m getting ready for a VW Festival at the end of August, hence the camper vans and flower power quilts! I would normally be worried that Bank Holiday weekend in August would be wet, but I doubt that will happen this year 😉

It doesn’t need to break the bank - I use a lot of fabric remnants bought on eBay - old curtains/duvet covers can be great! I bought a job lot of cotton bobbins too which turned out to be 100s of used and unused bobbins in lots of colours - I may never use them all in my lifetime!

The church service at St John’s this morning was amazing. The choir were magnificent, and when the congregation stood to join in the last verse, it was a very emotional moment 🥲
