no foolin'!
a new month but an old UFO has moved to the top of the finish list....it's my "cabana daydreams" bed quilt...
if it looks familiar, it's because the scraps from this went into "sunny day" that got finished a week or so ago...again with the bright colors! these were charm packs gifted to me about 4 years ago in my gap year while waiting for the maryland move. and since it's a beachy type quilt, using a scallop pattern for the white spaces..
and while white thread is being used for the triangles and the hexagon outline, pulled out an aurifil variegated to do the scallops....so all the categories are now covered for april....hand quilting, machine quilting and hand piecing! will be squeezing in a basting day sometime this month and the scrap basket is overflowing again too! these should keep me outta trouble for 30 days...lol!

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the variegated thread for hand quilting. If the truth were told, I love hand quilting but never pick it up anymore. I should, it is so calming. Your "Cabana Daydreams" could be subtitled: "spring is calling", the colors and textures are simply perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a fun one to quilt. I love variegated threads too. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt to remind you that summer will come again! The variegated quilting thread is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love how the shell fits so perfectly in the open, white space. Quilting it in a multi-colored thread will add just enough interest. I love your bright colors, too. It will be a wonderful quilt!
