The U and U QAL has been so interesting.

Thanks, Sujata for posing this challenge!

With four quilt tops waiting to be quilted,

I think I'm "done" with the challenge for now . . .

And still the blocks keep on coming for UANDUQAL

I'm slowly moving towards the finish line with my blocks 

"Cross"/Four Patch

for UANDUQAL

with another five shown below.

I'm looking forward to having all 30 blocks on the design wall

and spending time arranging.

It may be next week before I'm at that stage due to a

 bout of tendonitis in my forearm!

I'm having such a lot of fun playing with the colour in these blocks and

intend to spend a little time soon looking for another

inspirational quilt from the U and U book.

More next week - have a happy weekend.

Yet more blocks for UANDUQAL

Yes folks,  a few more blocks from me and only 12 more

needed to meet my target of 30.

Can't wait to get all these up on the design wall, play with

placement and begin sewing rows.

There's a bit of mix here, murky colours and two somewhat lighter in colour

with one being definitely bright with that zigzag outer border.

Must hurry now and cut more fabric!!
