I decided to set the small log cabin blocks I showed you in the last post on a Kona Coal background. I sewed them down like a ticker tape quilt, which is also like raw edge applique.
Now I am making pebbles/bubbles around them. The variegated gray thread is interesting on the dark background.
I am hopeful that this will turn into an interesting wall quilt. It is rather compelling, making these circles, I expect I will finish this part soon.
Other than this, I have been cutting up stuff:
- I cut up the dark gray, the white back and the batting for this project.
- I cut up the sashing and the small accent bits for my Supernova Quilt.
- I cut up 8 more backs and batting for the Bloggers Block-a-palooza blocks.
- I cut up 6 backs for my Lily's Quilts QAL giant dresdens.
- Today I bought new batting for the giant dresdens, so that now needs to be cut too.
I am not fond of the cutting part of quilting.
Soon all those projects will be in line for quilting too. Good thing I like the quilting part.
Oh, and after everyone was burned using the old oven mitts, I felt compelled to make something we actually needed.
I hope you find time for some relaxing over this Easter weekend.
Best,
Leanne
