Three things to be happy about:
(1) birds on a road sign
(2) a ticking clock
(3) sculpture gardens
I made it out of the design slump I was in while trying to lay out my retreat swap blocks. I had it in my mind to use the green batik-y fabric for sashing and the darker fabric for cornerstones.
However, I won't need cornerstones for the design I decided to go with.
Remember this layout?
It just wasn't coming together for me, but thanks to Gene's advice I thought "a-hah - medallion!"
This is the middle part, it looks great just as a small quilt!
I'll sew the quilt together in three rows...
Here's part of the middle row sewn together.
The two blocks will be added at the right side, then I'll add the top and bottom rows and sash the outside edges.
Progress is good!
Well today is quilt guild day, has it been a month already??!
It's also our annual guild tea, so it should be different and fun. We'll have tea cakes, those cute little cookies, cucumber sandwiches ... the whole nine yards!
That's it for now, go out and have fun today, sew forth and sew on til later!
This is a really good idea and I like the way it's looking.
