I love my new vacuum cleaner. It is nothing fancy but it sure is better than my old one. I have the whole living room/dining room clean now for Thanksgiving. It is a huge L shaped room. Each section is 15' wide and the long parts of the L are 30'. When that room is done I feel like I have cleaned half of the house.

A pieced back
I am going to use the light 'H' blocks on the back of the quilt, pieced into an 'H' shape. I will probably make more light blocks to make the 'H' larger.I had to move my blocks over to a double wall (8 ft. wide) so the new blocks have been mixed in with the old ones. I made another star block in the same fabrics as the first one and now I think I might make them all with the same star fabric and change the background of the next ones to fabrics similar to the first background. If I don't like that I will make all of the star blocks alike. I need to make about 25 more blocks for a 60" x 82" quilt. I could stop at 75" long and use it as a couch quilt. I'm not bored with it yet so we'll see.
I just love this "H" block quilt, you can't go wrong with those gorgeous fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the lights on the back. It is really coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteH is looking just awesome Wanda!
ReplyDeleteWanda, we are living parallel lives! I just got a new vacuum cleaner myself! Woo-hoo - and i am determined to make an "H" quilt because I adore how yours is turning out! I love your work.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I love your color combinations. Again, I have learned a great deal from your example. It's almost like getting "premission" to go ahead and try what I see on my design floor. Very nice quilt.
ReplyDelete"H" is for health...it's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI like that "H" idea for a back. That will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that you would feel that you had cleaned the whole house after all that vacuuming. My cord shorted out this week on mine and boy, did I miss it while it was being repaired!
Who would have thought that H's could be so interesting! The stars fit right in. I think H is for HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, can't wait to see the final result. Your "resource room" must be amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe fractal principle is an element of beauty, I believe
ReplyDeleteLOVE the face of your H quilt, and for you to use the lights on the back really made me smile. A great reversible quilt this will be.

The "H" quilt is going to be a stunning display of colour! I love the idea of the light H blocks for the reverse.
ReplyDeleteLove how your 'H' quilt is coming along. It looks great and the back will be just a wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of vaccuming! A good workout, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteI like your H quilt so far! Beautiful colors, and great movement. And the idea of the lights on the back is great.
"H" looks great. I really like the idea for the back too.
ReplyDeleteThe vacuuming? Yukk, that's a lot of room to do.
Very fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd when I clean my living/dining room I have cleaned half the house. At least that is the case until the basement is finished.
