friday i retreated with the stashbusters and finished all 18 of my "amish in the city" blocks. this pattern came from a book called "city quilter" by cherri house....lots of very nice geometric designs in this book. these will be set on point with black setting triangles that i have yet to cut, plus a couple of narrow borders. i'm thinking an overall quilting pattern on this one, perhaps bonnie's famous baptist fans? ***** i've now cut fabrics for 2 amish tops (this and the honeycomb) and my elfa drawer of solids is still jam packed full. it is always surprising how little fabric scrap quilt tops actually bust! **** yesterday i also printed off the remaining patterns (so far) for my "just takes 2" project of civil war brown prints/muslin. and my 2 swaps are ready to mail as well, so all caught up there. all in all, a very productive and enjoyable day!
Can't wait to see these blocks become a top. I have thumbed through that book and it does contain very boldly graphic designs! Are these paper pieced--that is what it looks like from here. : )
