I sure spent a lot of time with my sewing machine last week so I guess . No I know I had fun.
The weather was wet, wet, and wet so settled in and stitched.
First the little girl's quilt is ready for binding
I enjoyed making this quilt. The colors are much lighter than I usually use but not insipid. I have come to realise that lights/whites are stronger now than they were in my early years of quilting. Close ups when the binding is done.
Next on the list a return to a 15min play Color Challenge
The self imposed rules for choosing fabrics are still in play but the results are very different
1. The outer row starts with a made fabric triangle between two fabrics from the same color family.
2. The inner octagon is a floral alternated with a solid.
The results are very different and I'm learning a lot about value and scale. I guess that's what play is for.
Continuation of Scrappy
Four more blocks this week. I dug around in the novelty scraps and the addition of more medium to lights seems to be pleasing.
Speaking of flying I have a shopping date with DD#2 so I must scoot . Trains don't wait for late comers.
Have a great week Terry

Oh, I love the octagons, very effective
Time does fly when you're having fun and it certainly looks like you've been having fun with all those wonderful projects happening over there. I love your 15 minutes octogons, it's interesting hearing the self imposed rules. Your scrappy blocks are fabulous and fun, a fabric party. Hope you had fun shopping!
Great blocks and colourful. Enjoy your week - Hugs Nat
The little girl's quilt is sweet, she will love it, and those big diamond blocks are lovely true. I started a STAW because I was so impressed with yours. i think mine will be potholders, they just don't trip.
