#Scraptastic Tuesday - April Winners!

Sorry been a bit slow to get going this morning!  The kids are back at school this week and I was on driving in duty!  

Yesterday and today I have been quilting my latest Siblings Together quilt - the July deadline (when summer camps start)  is getting ever closer and we still need plenty more quilts so I am doing my best to provide as many as I can. 

I am sure there are a few more in the process of being made elsewhere in the UK/world but I am a little nervous that we will not reach our 100 target and don't want to let those children down.

This has been a really easy quilt to put together using lots of scraps for my 'filling' - that is the most time consuming bit.  Making the blocks and the top itself is a bit of a doddle!  

As the blocks are not as flat and square as one might like them to be, quilting FMQ style, with a swirly pattern, seems to rectify a multitude of sins!   The swirliness seems to draw up and gather any excess - could be my favourite pattern and certainly one I don't have to think much about.

Here is my progress ...

The back - best view of the quilting - not finished yet though...

And how it looks on the front!   Hope to finish today or tomorrow....keep your fingers crossed for me!
