I'm in 15 minutes play!

I finally got my hands on Victoria Findlay Wolfe's new book,

15 Minutes of Play.

and I'm in it and into it.

Here's my Crazy Dresden quilt I made for a swap, right in the centre of this page.

It's machine pieced and quilted, and handbeaded,

made using light scraps and a sunny yellow dresden.

This book is full of lots of ideas to use up your scraps and free up your creativity.

It's working -- I got out some Kaffe prints and tried out Victoria's Lemoyne Star

and managed the Y seams -- although it does take practice.

Here's two blocks using Kaffe for the star.

and some string pieced triangle trees, also inspired by the book.

I was pleased to see four of the group quilts from our 15 minutes play bee

included in the book.

Mine is still a flimsy, but not for long.

Thanks Victoria, for a great book

and for inviting me to be a small part of it.
