Shock of the century: I actually got to do some sewing this week and weekend. T was home for the first weekend in a long time, and Liberty had day camp this week. While Liberty was at camp and Wyatt was napping, Mommy got to sew!
The first project I worked on was my Dream On quilt. I’ve been dying to cut in to my jelly roll since it showed up. I am seriously in love with this fabric. Its like sherbert. Its going to be a big ‘un: it uses a jelly roll and a half. I’ve completed 12 of the 48 blocks…wowza! But at least it goes together really quickly. Here’s another shot to put it in to perspective:
The pattern is called “Daisy Chain” and its from the Jelly Roll Quilts book. I have fantasies of using it as a picnic blanket this spring.
My next project in queue is my Tufted Tweets quilt.
I love this fabric line…so whimsical! I’ll be pairing it with some Kona solids:
…still waiting on Sunflower (a yellow), but you get the idea. I’m planning on doing a slightly wonky square-in-a-square, sashed in white. Simple, because I don’t want to take away from this fabulous fabric!
Now, what I should have been working on is my Kaleidoscope quilt, since I’m hosting the quiltalong and all! So this afternoon I dusted it off and set to work! I’ve almost got my “B” blocks done, then I just need to finish off the “A” blocks. I can hardly wait! As soon as its done, I will be racing to the quilter, mark my words!
To give an incentive to my participants, I’m having a giveaway! All participants who post a progress pic on our Flickr group (it doesn’t matter how far you’ve gotten!) will be in the running for a stack of 44 6″ squares from my scraps.
The squares are all Minny Muu, Old New Collection and some Caramel Town. As I continue to work on my blocks this week, I will most likely be adding more squares. Yipee!
