A gloomy day here in Alberta, but we are
getting some much needed moisture so a
good day to get things done.
First, we had to go save a newly planted tree.
Rain and wind pelted us as we strung up supports
so it was a morning adventure.
Yesterday, was a beautiful, bright day and perfect for
photographing my finished top!
Here it is, my hourglass top complete!
I did go with the second round of darker
blues and it has finished to a lovely 87 x 89 flimsy.
The photograph was taken right outside
my summer sewing room.
The planting of Morgenrote Berginia, ferns
and 2 colors of Bleeding Heart have
really flourished with the replacement of
the solid fence with chain link!
This quilt may be a wedding quilt for my great nephew!
Possibly a family quilt since I seem to have
enough extra hourglasses to build a lighthouse!
kind of cool to have a great nephew!!
Next up is another couples quilt, the
sashed color square. I need 25 blocks
and have 20 at the finish line so it is really coming along!
Dark blue blocks are finished up and
most recent addition of yellow makes it
sparkle and enhances the other colors .
Right now, I am working on the black squares.
Then on to at least one orange and a few browns.
I may have a few left over for the next one but
I do have to optimize the color combination.
Each color square is made up of 4 diagonal
stripped 8 1/2" colored blocks . 80 inches of
color and sashing at 1 1/2" should let me
finished it up at a nice 87" square.
This morning's Sew Social with a friend
should see more progress.
Stay safe and sew on!
