a bit of snow overnite and icy this morning, so winter isn't quite receding...great sewing weather! after all my kitchen duties finished, went right back to phoebe and the stash....finished this small civil war flimsy, now in the hand quilting pile....
then moved on to the bea et cecile sew along project.....
started this with one idea--orange peels--and remembered these jo morton charm squares...then while pondering how to assemble, remembered this stripe print, also a jo morton, in the stash....thankful had just moved the stash onto bigger shelves, which brought it to mind. this will be a small finish adhering to the 'curves' theme....the colors appear much brighter in photo than actual and will be hand quilted of course. finish deadline is may--no problem at all. i'd say one of the rules of quilting is to absolutely know your stash. it certainly helped me in this instance.... also doing some giftie sewing than cannot reveal right now...
my group is up for vaccine but of course, there is none at present. another resident here tested positive, the second so far. holiday spike seems to be waning but alas, nowhere near back to normal anytime soon....
The quilt in the first photo is such an interesting design! I can see it in different fabric genres....or all scrappy. So many ideas....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great top! And, oh those orange peels are sensational!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful little quilt. Could serve well as an autograph quilt at a retreat, if we ever get to have those again!!
ReplyDeleteYour "curves" project is coming along beautifully. The colors are very pretty and that stripe is a wonderful accent.
I got my top assembled over the weekend, but have put it aside for a bit. Hopefully when I go back to it the quilting pattern I should use will magically appear in my mind! LOL
