Time for a little octopus...

I've only got enough wadding for one quilt at the moment and that will be the pancakes quilt when I baste it on the weekend on the big floor. I've therefore put the dress on pause just briefly (while I get over the bit of panic that I am actually making this) before getting some more wadding. I'm thinking I may get something super light, like fusible fleece. Actually yes, does anyone know where I can buy that pretty cheaply by the yard/metre? I've started another project on my list - the Octo quilt - which as a result meant great fun cutting out 3 1/2" squares in front of the TV last night, catching up with GB Sewing Bee. These go in the centre of the block and the quilt is going to be for the family in Calgary that we are staying with later in the year. I've decided to make a feature out of this fun Cotton+Steel octopus print in a few locations in the quilt, maybe one square per row.
