I recently finished a dress that a friend from church gave me. She had sewn most of it together, and I just had to cut, piece, and sew the neck/back facing on and hem it. There were a few small pieces of leftover seafoam green print fabric, which I thought would look nice in Aunt Joe’s Afghan quilt. So I used that and pulled two other fabrics that I thought coordinated, and made one block yesterday. I wanted to go ahead and get this one out of the way so I didn’t lose any of the pieces I’d cut. Then I can focus on making Babcia Square blocks as well as some more small 9-patch units. I’m thinking of making another Painter’s Palette quilt, and it will require a bunch of the little units. They’ll be great leader-ender units.
Speaking of leader-ender projects, I started Bonnie Hunter’s Tulip Swirl back in July, and have been steadily adding little blocks/units to the design wall. I’ve decided to put this project away temporarily while I work on blocks that use other size strips. But here’s a shot of the design wall before I took them down and put them away. Slowly taking shape in their scrappy goodness. I’ve been calling this Tulip Twirl, and when I took one of the units down, I immediately wanted to call it Kitty Twirl, because one unit looks like a little cat head on an angle.
The photo looks a little washed out, It’s a little brighter than this in person. I am leaning toward this layout for the final quilt.
