Here you can see 1/2 of my design wall. The blocks from last week are still up: no setting ideas have come, yet.
Next to them are two of the 4 Boot Bash blocks that I prepped and these two have even been appliqued to the background.
I started this BOM, from Molly, in Jan 2011 but somehow didn’t complete the last 4 blocks.
These are fun blocks to make and they let me play with mixing fabrics together.
I hope to have the other two blocks finished this week and then I have a very large medallion I want to make to completed this quilt top.
My next project for last week was the color challenge from Vicki and Judy. These are the colors Vicki chose for June.
And this is how I plan to use it. This is a paper piecing block designed by Carol Doak for having 8000 members on her yahoo list.
I even have a plan for it: a table topper.
More bright colors for the summer.
So I cut ALL of the little pieces for this project. Oh, my, how I really don’t enjoy cutting fabric.
Of course I did have a little problem. My printer didn’t want to print the cutting directions so I sent the PDF to myself, brought it up on my iPad and was able to see all the directions and get it all ready for sewing today.
Oh, and last but not least, I wanted to show the new toys I got for the studio from my LQS. These are a pair of tweezers and scissors. Aren’t they cute? And they work, too.
Well, after writing all of this I am ready to get back into the studio and get some more stitching going. How about you?
