I've got one block sewn for the new quilt using the fabrics I'd shown in my last post. Along with those happy pink/orange/cerise colours, I've added in a mixture of low volume fabrics from my stash. Some of those low volume fabrics are from a swap I participated in last year. So glad to put them into this quilt!
As exciting as it is to see all the cut pieces up on my design wall,
I will be more excited to get this baby pieced.
This is the first time I've used a variety of low volume fabrics as a background on something larger than this wall hanging and I'm loving it!
Linking up with Lee and friends
here,
and with Lorna and friends
What are you working on today?
It's getting gourgeous. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCerise - such a pretty word (it sounds like it would taste good, lol) and such a pretty colour :) That's a gorgeous collection of fabrics and colours in your block - particularly the unicorn (horse?) :D
ReplyDeleteOOPS I got distracted by the word cerise and forgot to answer your question - I'm not sewing anything today! I have 3 HVAC guys working away in my basement - since my sewing room is also the room with the furnace, it's like a tornado down there right now :D My big sewing table is shoved up against a wall to give them room to work, and everything is topsy turvy :) Without the interruption, I'm sure that I would have worked prodigiously and would have completed at least 3 UFO's today - perhaps 4 ;) (NOT!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from WIP Wednesday, Hope you stop by and enter my giveaway.
