    So I finally have a day off from work and I spent all day so far sewing. This one is going to be for my father so he stops stealing my mother's quilt off the upstairs sofa, lol! I have two blocks done so far, they take pretty long to do, and I have seven more to do. The backing is black flannel with red orange and yellow electric guitars on it, I think it's going to look pretty cool :)

    I like bright colours and I chose the backing first, so I had to go with colours from there. It's a bit loud, but I like it :)

    I love the blocks, they're gorgeous! Do you know the name?
    When they're put together they're going to make a wicked pattern.
