So here we are at the 6^th Round of the Stay at Home Round Robin and, today, I’m linking up with Kathleen @ Kathleen McMusing. We have had four long power cuts in the last two weeks including one all day yesterday so I didn’t think I would manage to link up this week but I’m just about done, although it’s dark and wet outside so I have no washing line pictures tonight!

Kathleen’s prompt was ‘letters and numbers’ and I’m a big fan of typography but the space in the border of my quilt that seemed to cry out for letters was already surrounded by another border and was also too small to fit in anything but the shortest of quotes.

I eventually chanced upon this one by Paul Klee, an artist I hadn’t really come across before although I recognised some of his paintings. It seems we share an enthusiasm for colour and his quote seems quite at home on my quilt.

Luckily I have a box of secondhand sizzix letters so I was able to iron fusible web onto fabric, cut the letters and iron them onto the quilt.

Now, I have some applique to add, some more quilting and binding and, hopefully, I’ll get it finished for the Parade on 18th March :)
