had planned elaborate feather border, but the stencil was really too close a fit, so went for plan B. should be a june finish.....then over to the machine for some quality time with the old viking.....a few more of these little blocks that may end up being a bed size, not sure, but they are fun to make......
then for diversion, pulled out my scrappy DWR drawer to cut out the necessary melons and connecting pieces....thankfully i used a stock kona cotton as more will be needed. from now on i will definitely buy 4 yards of anything planned for backgrounds....then thought i would sew up a few units to polish my machine curve sewing skills....a few tweaks but good result....
ooohh be still my heart....i am quite happy about this one and already thinking about hand quilting patterns.....but it'll have to wait its turn....also caved for a teensy bit of retail therapy, a couple of jo morton's new 'glad tidings' pieces.... **** our county is still awaiting confirmation of fitness center openings later this week. fingers crossed and if that does indeed happen, then sewing time will be rearranged. working out and sewing will leave very little time for news and that's a very good thing!
Your quilts you're working on are lovely! I can't wait for the gyms in NY to open. I miss going.
ReplyDeleteme too...hoping for friday...and thanks for the comments...
ReplyDeleteThe richness of the colors in the hexie project just warms my heart. Remind me--are these Cherrywood leftovers?
ReplyDeleteI love the little blocks you are making, too. Had actually set aside a bunch of HSTs recently thinking I might try my hand at them. Hasn't happened yet. :) Yours looks like such fun.
What a striking DWR, with the beautiful blue background! You know, I have a DWR project in a box that is at the stage where I need to start sewing the arcs and melons together and I am so chicken about it that I haven't touched it in years and years! Maybe if I see enough of yours I will get brave.
gee thanks janet (blushing here)...so glad you like them...i chose the blue for the DWR for something different...and the hexies are mostly cherrywood....all but few
ReplyDeleteLove your projects especially the twisted blocks. These will be so lovely. I can see why your mind is whirling with quilting designs. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss. I hope you'll visit for a special welcome.
