before and after
BEFORE july 4th, posted a list of goals for july....now AFTER happy to say one goal has been met! it's the scrappy wall quilt that no longer takes up design wall space....this was the first version....the BEFORE
i tried following the values in the book (Betsy Chutchian's 'quilts for all seasons') but found that my lights were too light, soooooo after some ripping and re-sewing, this is the final version aka AFTER....
today is declutter, a few household chores, and more tackling of the july list. happy to say all pieces cut for the guild's october challenge plus more bow ties for the seemingly never-ending project that i think is nearly ready for flimsy stage. got the newly acquired stash washed and dried and ready to use as well. indulged in a celebratory hamburger for lunch, a welcome change from chicken! july marches on and so must i!

Good call replacing the very lightest lights in the outer border. Makes the contrast of the lights in the inner rounds more defined. It really is a fun quilt to study. I love the scrappiness of it all!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteI love your after quilt. The colors are beautiful together and it's a fun way to put several different block patterns together. Congrats on an early July finish!
ReplyDeleteLove the final version! Great job on a wonderfully scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy quilts, so colorful and I love that they use up scraps..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Janet - good call to invest the time to re-do some of the blocks.
