ET calling

Every once in a while a block comes along that screams “make me now”. Lynne’s new ET phone home block is one of those! I’ve spent the afternoon playing with Oakshotts and this lovely print from Basic Grey. Coincidentally the film, ET, was on the tv this afternoon…..(do-de-do-do twilight zone). The photo doesn’t really do this justice but those of you who know what Oakshotts are like will know that the colours are way more gorgeous in real life. I cracked open my Colourbox for the first time in honour of this block 😉

I think I’ll sash this block and turn it into a cushion or something similar. This is a really addictive block so I foresee more of these in my future!
Just before I go I’ll point out that the Brit Quilt Swap has started sign-ups for the next round. We’re back to making mini quilts this round 🙂 It’s good to see lots of familiar names in there!

Hope you’re all having a good weekend so far. Catch you soon x
