Hello Quilt Friends from the valley where we have cold temperatures and sunny skies.
I'm working on my sawtooth borders for my Hourglass Medallion #2 small quilt. It's an experimental/practice project. Often I don't want to make a big quilt but I want to work out a technique or color arrangement so I make a small piece. The sawtooth border technique that Mary Hogan explains in her book is one of the best I've seen, good explanation and photos.
And I'm piecing up bigger Hourglass Blocks, 3 1/2" finished, for another project. Using Christmas & Kaffe fabrics with Kona solids and Moda Grunge for fun contrast.
That is the quilt news from the cold NW where I'm indulging in color and working out some piecing experiments. What new projects or color combinations are you considering?
When it's cold outside being inside is a good thing, right? I'm thankful.
I'll be by to visit.
