A brief summary of the week’s activity :
While working on the TAW I unearthed a multitude of solid fabrics, and chose a few to use. Having found so many I thought I should do a project in solids. Then in the 100 Blocks magazine I found the ideal block to use.
Here’s the progress so far with four blocks finished. I think I’ll do 12 in a 3 X 4 setting.
On the garden side, the roses are blooming
And an ongoing project is racing to a finish soon. It is my attempt at a Quilt As You Go crayon box, don’t know if I’ve mentioned it. I’ve always wanted to do QAYG since reading Georgia Bonestell , and found a good tute on Youtube that helped with some issues I had.
The blocks joined by narrow white sashing.
The back. Each block has a different print with a stripe fabric sashing them
oooh Mary, I like all the colors, how very modern of you! It is a really nice block for using colors like that. The rose is very pretty but how are your tomatoes?! I've never done quilt as you go. Does it reallysave time and the back ache of muscleing a whole quilt under your walking foot?! have a nice week, cheers, CW
ReplyDeleteYes Claire it is easier to whip the small blocks through the machine. My problem was joining them together and I think I've gotten better at it. The sashing helped. Next time I'm going to do more complex quilting in the blocks. have a good time traveling, loving the museum photos, Ta, Mary
