| So I couldn't decide between cushion or quilt but I love the denim blue tweed from Norman Mackenzie's weaving shed so made one of the squares up into a cushion. |
 |
| Now I have seven squares left to play with. So plenty of work for next week! |
 |
| How satisfying to see something beautiful created from a basket of scraps. A good end to a busy week. |
 |
| Feeling thrifty this week as it's Lent, so I started to make log cabin squares using up my basket of scraps. |
 |
| The red square represents the fire in the hearth of the log cabin as seen by the bird looking down the chimney. It really sings out of the blue and grey. |
 |
| I made 8 squares from a basket of scraps, very satisfying. Now thinking about what to do with them. |
 |
| This beautiful lap quilt has been made from Borders cashmere tweed which is very light and soft , then edged with cream Harris tweed to give the quilt some weight. |
 |
| I have had the tweed squares in my stash for years but today I suddenly knew what to do with them and spent a happy few hours combining the squares and sewing them together. The colours are so harmonious and helped to brighten a dark, wet day in Glasgow. |
 |
| It is a good size for a lap quilt 75cm x 90 cm and has a cream cotton backing. I think this might work well as a large cushion too. |
 |
| This small quilt is perfect for the end of the bed or for the sofa. It has a lilac cotton backing which picks out the lilacs and purple hearts. |
