Not the food kind, but the fabric variety. It's what I have named Mrs Buzz's quilt, that I am currently busy stitching together. When it is a colour block quilt like these are, it's a lot of faffing about. The whole quilt and blocks have to be laid out and I spend hours shifting them around into place, so the colours blend and don't jarr with each other. It's like one giant colour jigsaw puzzle. As I never absolutely plan things down to the last detail. I will always wing it.
Now the fronts of both Mr and Mrs Buzz's quilts are finished I can concentrate on the backs. Then it's time to piece together. I am nearly finished on the strawberries and cream one. Why the title? Well, the colours remind me of Summer, raspberries, strawberries, bramble leaves, bowls of mixed cream and berry juice in a swirl, walks in the country and picnic blankets. I have used a cream contrast instead of a bright white like I did for Blue Lightening, so I think Strawberries and Cream is quite a fitting name.
