it's moda love!

does not seem possible just about a week since last post.  i've been busy i think....but finally sat down for some sew time.  it's moda love wall quilt!

just sew rows together and it's a flimsy....late to the party as my zoom peeps in the southern hemisphere made theirs a couple of weeks ago at retreat.  oh well, better late than never.  pulled a couple of kaffe prints that caught my eye and here it is.  you know i like color and kaffe prints never, ever disappoint.  

and the peril most quilters face when moving didn't miss me.  way in a deep, dark place was this not-quite UFO....i say not quite since i made only one block for a tryout but i did cut a gazillion pieces for it.  it whispered to me now and then but now frugality demands that i move it to the official UFO pile and at least get it to flimsy stage.


if you zoom in on the date, you'll see 2011...12 years ago, so yes it is time.  

it's scrappy repro of course...so plenty of stash on hand.  blocks finish at 6"....

sweet 100s are just about ready for outdoor planting.  it's been cooler than normal here but i think next week is the change for more warmth, 75-80 every single day.  

so settled yet?   ha!  still trying to establish daily routine and have it feel normal.  missing my regular gym time big time, still on hold due to leg.  new wrinkle is that swelling receding steadily due to constant draining with extra bandage changes.  it's also more painful as muscles and nerves come back to life.  car on sick list as well, so off to repair next week, an added detour.  and a couple of days just rested with a book to recover and recharge.  it keeps me going but a real vacation is sorely needed, along with some TLC from my family.

  1. Oooo--your Moda Love looks so pretty in those stunning Kaffe fabrics!
    I like the "Across the Spectrum" design. Quilts with chain blocks of any kind always appeal to me. It will look very inviting in the repros.
    You and your car on the sick list at the same time is not a happy arrangement. I hope you both get better very soon!

  3. I’m so pleased that you made a Moda Love quilt too. It has turned out well in the Kaffe fabrics. Your new/old quilt will be worth the effort, as the design is timeless

  4. That's a well-traveled UFO if you began in 12 years ago! Hope your limbs and your wheels are back in action soon.
