this quilt has been to Alaska USA (x2), Cambridge UK, Norway, California USA and of course Australia.

it was made as part of an international round robin that i was lucky enough to be a part of in 2008/2009.  thanks to Amber, Chrissie, Gunn, Julie and Karrie for helping to make such a gorgeous quilt for me!

kaleidoscope goodness...

yesterday i had the pleasure of attending a patchwork class taught by Pam Jansen at Ballarat Patchwork where i started to turn this...

into these...

sewing has started....

next step...

 they will eventually become a wall quilt for my bedroom

ETA.... i have been using Marti Mitchell's kaleido-ruler  - it has been easy to use and as made this quilt a pleasure to cut out!
 

my stash...

hi, I'm Viki and i have a generous fabric stash!

my stash goes from the palest to the darkest shades,

i have spots, stripes, florals, novelties and tone-on-tones... but what i dont have is PLAIN fabric!  the only plain fabric that i own is calico (a cheap, plain, slightly nobbly, neutral colored fabric - i know that in other parts of the world "calico" is an entirely different sort of fabric!) which i use to make dolls

i have a few fat-quarters, but these days i tend to buy a minimum of 50cm. 

i dont do a lot with scraps but i do keep some for applique, and i have a small drawer (at the top of the dresser) that has strips/strings sorted by color

i also have a drawer of non-cotton fabrics (tulle, lace, corduroy, polar fleece etc)

what do you have in your stash? is there anything that avoid? what is your fabric weakness?
