Happy Friday-Weekend!!!!
Lots of work got done here this week. I finished the snow-ball row and the flying geese row, from my Craftsy class by Amanda Jean Nyberg, 'Colorful Scrap Quilting.' I'm taking the class to 'keep in shape', to study up on what makes a good quilt instructor. I've kept to the prescribed directions pretty much but the 'wonky' temptation is coming on strong and I think I'll have to go 'wonky' on the shoo fly blocks, and the sashing will measure differently too.
The fabric I ordered to finish this quilt came in the mail from Connecting Threads. The strawberry colored 'butterfly' fabric will be backing, the pink 'girls in trees' will be sashing and the yellow 'flowers' will be binding. Or maybe I'll change my mind and switch it all around.
The fabric is by Heather Ross for Windham. I love her designs.
That's what I've been working on. Please pass the ice-tea and turn on the air-conditioner!
Stay cool and relax!!!
There an't be one single piece of dull fabric in your stash! Even the backing fabric sparkle!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Queenie, if you put 'dull' in the middle of sparkle it 'magically' starts to sparkle,
DeleteI've seen that happen to people too.
Gorgeous! You are always so colorful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pamela, color is lots of fun!
DeleteI would like a whole quilt of those flying geese! Your backing/sashing/binding fabrics look spot on.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kaja.
DeleteThat would look amazing, a whole quilt of flying geese. I imagine by the time it was finished I would be a whiz making them up.
I never fail to be mesmerized by your amazing use of colour Janie - I think I would recognize your work anywhere. Wish I possessed half your ability! Lots of ice tea on the go here too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Ann. You do gorgeous work yourself!! Your crazy quilting/embroidery is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI will bring you some ice tea if you allow me to gaze, fondle and explore your fabric stash!! You always have the most vibrant and beautiful cloth Janie.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen, You are a textile connoisseur, it would be an enlightening consultation for sure.
