This was a win, it would look good rotated or mirrored.

And then I thought I would have a go at a tree, this looked promising...

And it looked promising.....

But the time has come to abandon it and try another day.

It seems I am not alone in this difficulty, this 1933 quilt had similar problems.

Grrr, blogger has turned this upside down. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this, it's a WIN!

Border design

Grrr. Blogger in it's wisdom is showing this border swag for the quilt design in the previous post upside down. I must do more designing I enjoy it so much. It's a very calming thing to do. The bow on the right is how it will look on the corners and on the left how it does between the swags.

 It is St Swithin's Day today and tradition has whatever the weather today, it will remain like this for 40 days.

'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair.'

It is now 8.45pm and we have had no rain....... Fingers crossed for the London Olympics. I wonder if events have had to be delayed because of unseasonal weather?
