A new top!

I finished this top that I made during the "Second Class of Patchwork" with my teacher Nicoletta.
I learned stars, regular or improvisational, circles, mitred corners and some kind of tips.
 I'm quite happy for this work but I have understand a thing: work blocks with different measures is very difficult....at least for me!

I named it

"STARS IN THE NIGHT" Quilt Top

 Indeed.......a "bombastic" name........but I love it!!!

Finally...

...I named it "Candy Quilt"! The squares seem really sweet candy: raspberry, lemon, strawberry, orange, mint......so......a sweet sweet quilt!

It is a gift for my daughter Anna, for her sweet seventeenth birthday!

WOW....gifts

From her holiday in Thailand, last weeks, my daughter Giulia brought me a lot of fabrics!

Cute elephants....

...three FQ of Riverside Collection by Lecien...

...three different little bundles...

...two "cigars"...

...four Japanese FQ...

It is a WIP......a big WIP for me!

....but I have my dear Mimi, my special assistant.....

Hexies' story.....

Christmas holidays are very busy days for me and I have a quite moment in the evening, when I "slump"on my sofa. But.....I can't twiddle one's thumbs! So, I take my hexies, lovely but ...infinite work!
Now, I have 74 "rosettes" and about 180 hexies ready to sew together.
I'll need 162 rosettes and....I don't know how many red hexies between a rosetta and the other.
For the moment I want to finish all coloured hexies then... I'll calculate red ones.

Wishing......

....tanti Auguri a tutti!!!
