Day 12 non-dietary

Finished the quilt top for the Tiger-Muffin!

I am now aching to make a quilt in rosy pinks, beige, celery, lavender, lilac whatever just not so goddam bright! Good thing I'm not drinking much these days...this is not the quilt to work on with a hangover.

All that remains is to bind and back and 'quilt' (see funny wavy patterns on red bits done with mysterious magical 'quilting foot' that looks like a swiss-army-knife and has yet to be purchased).

Next project to complete is mum's Colour-wash with applique poppies. Some serious miscalculations have resulted in some fairly dodgy 'repair' work needing to be done, but I think I can pull it off.

See what I mean? A bit 'oopsy' on the amount of squares in each row for starters....(that's Mr's foot top-right,-doesn't let silly quilting endeavours stop him playing 'Destroy all Humans' on his PS2). Please tell me this can be saved?! That's way too much fabric and money to have to scrap. I am planning to applique though...maybe I can 'cover' mistake bits with conveniently placed poppies?

I was also thinking of adding just a few random ears of wheat and some bluebells...or would that be too much? I'm thinking of that beautiful scene in 'A Room with a View' when Julian Sands Sweeps Helena up into a passionate kiss amongst poppies and wheat on the Tuscan Hillside. Maybe that's the quilt's name? I've had no 'lightbulb' moments so far...yes, I think I will name it 'A Room with a View'. Good.
