Weekend sewing

I had planned to spend Sunday finishing my goldfinch quilt finally. I then got distracted by the Tova sewalong over at VeryKerryBerry and finished this in about 4 hours...Sorry for the crap photo- lighting was not good and my camera doesn't cope well with high ISO (though Fujis used to back when I worked at a camera shop, sort it out Fujifilm!).I don't like baggy clothes much, so I decided to pair it with a belt- the same one as the dress from the other day- and it's much improved. I'm wearing it today!The fabric used is from Kate Spain's Terrain collection produced by Moda and this is a flannel which is nice and soft :)I also started to befriend paper piecing. We didn't see eye to eye at first, but I managed to do another hedgehog without any hiccups(!)... check out the hand painted fabric for the quills...And I've started a quilt I am making for my new baby cousin due in June. They know whether it is a boy or a girl but I don't- and I hate the "pink is for girls, blue is for boys" rubbish. Next you'll be telling me that boys can't learn to sew and girls can't play football. Did you know pink used to be a solely masculine colour until the last 150 years or so? Anyway I digress, so this hasn't affected what I would have done as a quilt at all, I'm making a 4x4 square of birdies (alternating between looking left and right) and then bordering and sashing it with a simple cream or yellow that I've not found yet. I'm going to border the blocks with blue and red solids- I've started the blue here but not finished it yet- I think I might unpick and use a darker blue so that it doesn't look like an extension of the sky... All the birds are made with Pezzy Print by American Jane for Moda and from a charm pack. The pattern is from Piece by Number and it's a lot simpler than the hedgehog.And this is the order I'm going to use for the Pezzy Birds colours, just for reference so I don't forget!And here's a gratuitous hedgehog photograph as your reward since you managed to read down this far...
