I'm still cutting 9" black and white strips for my strip twist quilt! Surprisingly I didn't have too much black and white in my 2-1/2" bin.
That Moda at the far right is called Comma, by Brigitte Heitland for ZEN CHIC. I'm pretty sure I bought this from Sauder's on last October's Lancaster shopping trip with the Faithful Circle quilters. Pretty fabric!
These are the blocks I've completed so far.
I plan to scatter red throughout the quilt, not too many because I think less is more in this case!
Test layout, just to see how they look together!
This is how I will lay it though - 4 across and 5 down:
I'm getting there, no hurry on this one. I'm trying to keep this as a leader-ender project while I do other stuff. That's one way to ensure "other stuff" gets done!
I'm feeling more chipper today, thank goodness! I popped a crown a couple months ago; the dentist put it back in but it needed replacing and besides, I had decay under it, yuck! The removal and temp crown were no problem but somehow he managed to poke me under my tongue and made a small tear. Feels better now, but woe was me since Monday!
It's very difficult to NOT chew on that side, forget salads for a couple weeks!
Do something creative, give yourself a treat, sew forth and sew on...
I think your less is more idea of the red really is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! Oh! You're going to send this to Washington state when it's all done, right?
