that someday fabric

i've got some....you know, stuff picked up at a free table, flung to me, bought on a whim with no specific purpose...for someday.....here is just one


pretty nondescript but my colors....aqua, pale green, lavender....i knew i would need it someday....and i did! and it's almost gone too....win/win!

goal today was to make 3 more 'wensleydale' blocks.....i made 4!  i found it takes less time if the fabrics are chosen ahead of time and set aside...then it's just keep going from one to the next.  i have to say my blocks photograph terrible....i tried to adjust the color without success.  certain fabrics do not jump out at you....i have the benefit of being nearsighted so without my glasses i see the full effect and i am really happy with them so far.  once they are all done, i'll take it outside and photograph in daylight...



see the someday fabric?  there are some small pieces left that'll get incorporated somehow probably.  the layout will likely get changed when all blocks are done.  the bottom triangle on the bottom right block was in shadow....

wacky weather continues....below freezing past 2 mornings but warming now and near 90 first half of next week...will have to unearth some shorts for sure and any scooting will be done early in the day before hibernating in A/C....

our new washers have deep drums and bruised my rib while leaning over retrieving socks at the bottom...and burn on my back from heating pad healing nicely...home care nurse cleared me for shower...wahoo!  call me klutz!

  4. The quilt is coming along nicely and will be beautiful. What struck me is your 90 degree temperature?? Wow! We are going to be high 70's early next week and we are shouting for joy!

  10. Oh, yes, that special fabric....I have to remind myself that there's likely to be another, "specialer" print. Your Wensleydale colorway so pretty! Hope your bumps heal quickly.
