A little bit of cutting-I found this block a while ago, loved the sample and have been cutting the strips for a while. It looks complicated though it is only HSTs and four patches from 1 1/2'' and 2 1/2'' strips.

And of course, MORE binding. It has been a week of record temperatures in the UK, so sitting with a quilt on my lap hasn't been an option for most of the week!

I got this silver thimble in a house clearance. It is marked 'James Walker the London Jeweler'.
A little bit of research told me that they were given as a free gift with wedding ring purchases. It came from the house of a 90 year old bachelor! Maybe he had a romantic disappointment. They used to make thimbles in much smaller size increments, this one fits me perfectly. Shortly after, I bought another antique one in the perfect size from Ebay.
