So this is my actual start. I’ve done a small piece of cutwork on navy linen, the circle is an inch in diameter (drew round a UK 2p coin) and then I’ve just made some small patchwork pieces, building up a collection of bits while I think. I need my red & white gingham fabric really before I do much more as need to have pops of that in the mix and I need some thin card to cut more paper templates from. The small hexagons are 1/2 inch and the large 3/4 inch. I think I prefer the smaller size but I’m thinking of making a memory quilt so the large size might work best? I also wondered about doing some old fashioned lazy daisy embroidered flowers to then cut up for patchwork but I’m not as patient as Karen for time consuming work so not sure.

Tortoises with triangle and time sculpture (2000) from Holland Park, London. This sculpture is done by Wendy Taylor (b 1945). The sundial is a man's oldest astronomical instrument. The gnomon which casts a shadow on the dial to indicate the time. Owing to a tilt of the Earth's axis and the speed of the Earth's elliptical progress around the sun, the time shown on the sundial will often differ by several minutes either way from GMT (a.k.a Greenwich Mean Time), with a maximum difference of 16 minutes between February and October. For a correct reading time shown on the sundial during BST (a.k.a British Summer Time), add 1 hour to the time shown on the sundial. This is an outdoor bronze sculpture to celebrate the millennium.
