Quilt News! In Pieces! Piecing Together Blocks for Sunflower Panel Border and Cutting Strips for Improv Borders for 3 Coneflowers Medallion Quilt with Borders BB Challenge..

Strips cut for improv borders for my version of Bramble Blooms Challenge..

These blocks are for two different projects, maybe more, I tend to 'over' piece.

 Hello Quilt Friends!

Happy March! busy month with spring right around the corner and Easter at the end of the month, not to mention lots of family birthdays! Whew, but it's exciting.

This last week I've been piecing and pressing fabric and blocks for different projects. I like to have strips of fabric and blocks ready for experimenting and interviewing before final design decisions in my projects. I find that having a good neutral fabric handy really calms the color hysteria that can happen in the design process. Because I am rapacious when it comes to color!

That is the news from the valley where we have sun/clouds and Daffodils are beginning to bloom.

What progress have you made this week?

I'll be by to visit.

Looks like fun times as you prep for next steps! Spring definitely IS on its way, though we have light snowflakes falling this morning....

March is a busy month! Let’s make the best of the time we have available.
I like your idea of cutting strips of fabric ready for any project. I also like your expression ‘interviewing’ the fabric strips so they end up in the right place!
Your choice of color always feels right.

Loving your idea of lots of prep work before making final decisions. I Looked back over your last couple of posts and love the blue/teal/purple HST border framing your coneflowers, lovely contrast.
