Well, last weekend didn't go according to plan and I didn't make it to Christchurch after all. I was caught up in Air New Zealand's worst weekend of 2022. It was the start of the school holidays, the All Blacks were playing Ireland in Dunedin (so a lot of people were travelling), the weather was awful in parts of NZ, and the second wave of COVID-19 is affecting airline staffing levels.
My Friday morning flight was cancelled, and then my Saturday afternoon flight was cancelled too! The next available flight down was on Tuesday. So, I had to stay at home.
However, I did finish my Spooky Darlings quilt top and I took it in for basting yesterday. I intend to hand quilt it with a spider web design which will be a new challenge for me.
I made these triangles as wide as I could with the fat eighth bundle I had purchased. My original plan was to jumble them all up, but then my eyes kept searching for the partner triangles, so I just let them naturally return to their partners. I've kept this design really simple because I want the hand quilting to shine.
The fabric is Spooky Darling by Ruby Star Society. I was never a huge Cotton + Steel fan, but I do like some of the Ruby Star Society fabrics. They use interesting colour combinations.
