No fabric in this week.
The start the next shirt plan got sidetracked. When I laid out the pattern, I found the fabric was discolored in places. Washing lightened the marks but didn’t remove them. They were scattered enough I couldn’t cut around them.
I moved on to plan B.
My sister sent me this kit last year. I saw feathers and ribbon candy quilted in the frames until I did a mock up. The fancy quilting competed with all those patterned fabrics. Sometimes simple is better.

I finished Pineapple Punch for 1 yard out.
This is a Joann’s kit that included the panel, backing and binding. I don’t normally use panels, but these kits are great for practicing free-motion quilting and choosing quilting designs.

On Saturday 4th July I was lucky enough to be in London on my own with some time to myself to do what I wanted. This is pretty rare because although I am English and grew up quite near London, I now live in Sydney, Australia and hadn't been to London at all in over 10 years!
