She's home!
Photo shoot coming once the binding is on. My LAQ (Cathy Kirk) did her usual outstanding job. She said the quilt got lots of compliments from her other clients while it was on the frame. That made me happy.
I still need a name for this quilt. I am thinking about Pure & Simple which is one of the phrases that is on that text fabric in the star in the photo.
Happy Stitching!
The September block from the HST BOM from In Color Order. Could be my favorite block to date!
I am going to need to study the color distribution before making the last 3 blocks to make sure there is a balance of color.
(I also need to press these blocks!)
Happy Stitching!
Block two from Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice - Votes for Women Block of the Week was a tad frustrating and the seam ripper was my friend.
First up I had to print the template about 15 times to get the % I needed to get the block the dimension I wanted. (For my printer, this was 125%.) Fabric choice (Moda Vintage Modern) was easy - I thought the center fabric would resemble what you would see looking through a kaleidoscope.
Y seams and the template almost did me in. Things were looking good at this point....
But my first attempt ended up with a block that did not lie flat. I carefully removed most of the seams, googgled instructions on Y seams and took a second try. This second attempt is much better. The block essentially lies flat - however is it not square. I will square it and then put sashing of some sort around it to get it to the right size.
I also got some blocks done for my AYOS Speck project.
Happy Stitching!
