So what have I finished this week? First, I've got some EPP fabric combos picked out and some diamonds basted, thanks to the arrival of a little package from Fabric.com. Me and the courier are on chatting terms now. I'm not sure that's a good sign.

| Is there anything better than a pile o' fabric? A pile o' chocolate? |
This makes me happy. These little piles of diamonds look so purdy. But no comments on the fact that some of my little tails don't wag the same way - we're ignoring those.

| Little bird cages - hands off BQF! |

| Folk tales bird cages too |

| Those little deers and hedgehogs are too cute. Too cute. |
In case you were wondering what could possibly be underlying those fabric choices, I will share my secret. Basically, they are meant to pick up the colours in my little retro dolls block. Given that includes pretty much every colour under the sun, that's not too onerous. And if it doesn't quite match, then it has to match my second criteria - that I like the fabric. It's genius, I tell you!
Well it's genius until I go to sew it together and it's far too busy, but I won't be worrying about that any time soon.

Secondly, my stippling on my lattice quilt is finished. Here is Wednesday's photo because, to be honest, it still doesn't look much different from this. But I've done more, truly!
And that's all because hubby and I are off to the Food Show now. Yes we are. Nom nom.
Hello friends visiting from linky parties! Have a virtual cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate on me while you look around.
And head back here next week - there's a charming little giveaway for my gorgeous blog followers coming. Yes there is. A little bit fabricky and a little bit chocolatey. I can't do better than that now, can I?! Have a lovely weekend.

It's okay - the people at the post office greet me by name now I'm there so often, usually picking up fabric. ;)
Lovely additions for the EPP quilt - those birdcages are super cute!!
I knew I had been buying far too much on Trade Me when I was out for a walk with the kids and the courier van pulled up beside me to hand over a parcel.
I'm so impressed that you stipple. I'm yet to break out from the old straight lines. Love your fabric and those gorgeous little bird cages. Have fun at the food show :-)
Oh, you're much kinder to yourself than I am. For me, it HAS to be a finish finish or I'd never get anything done!!!! great work. :) thanks for linking up.
Love the science behind the fabric choice - hope to be back for fabric and chocolate next week!
I'm just starting my hand at English paper piecing. I really like it. You're fussy cut diamonds are cute! Great job!
You're a mad genius and hearing from you as often as possible is wonderful. Nice how you have a way of bending the universe to your will!
The new diamonds are adorable. Are you going to do more doll blocks to sprinkle throughout or keeping it completely scrappy?
Enjoy the noshing with the hubs. Looking forward to your giveaway. Happy weekend!
Those diamonds are super cute! I wouldn't worry about the tails! Who's looking when the fussy cuts are so perfect? :-)
Love the diamonds - they are like packet of sweets! Loved your postman comment - ours not only knows me by name but knows remembers delivering to my mum's house for me too!
It's so pretty! Love love your work Liz :) I have a big quilt to quilt... I'm really not sure that I have the patience to fight with all that fabric in my little machine!
I really like this quilt and LOVE the combo quilting you have done!
