Spring is almost here and retreats are coming up.
I am readying the list and I always make
exciting discoveries going thru projects to
finish/ start or complete.
First up will be the RSC squirrel that ran
into my sewing room right before some
rainy weather. Now I have parts of 3 little color
bombs that will be prefect for our Zebra charity.
adorable color family blocks. They are
so much fun to make!
They just need assembly and
borders at the weekend workdays!
Next, I have had the black log cabins
looking me in the eye for a long time.
Two are ready for pinning, one has a
border to attach and one needs a border made.
fit the quilt center but keep the slashes
evenly spaced.
The next decision is the joining of the blocks.
Should they be sashed?
Adding sashing rapidly ramps up the size.
I do love the sashing look, so many decisions!
Binding, borders and the last of the
blocks will get assembled at retreat.
The solution I devised is to make the border
out of small scrappy blocks just like the center
and float them in black . It should be fun to do
and use up a lot of my bag of Bali bits. It is
a very big bag but it will be a start!
A good portion of this planning afternoon,
will be spent ferreting out some more black fabric!
Leftover pineapple blocks are going together to match
my DD's (darling daughter) baby quilt.
I will have to shop for a back
since I only have blue and brown backs in my stash.
It needs a neutral color so shopping is in order.
Retreats always inspire me and get my spinning
mind going at warp speed!
Let's all listen to John Luc and
"Engage!"
Stay safe and sew on!
