My art quilter's group, the best therapy I could have. We had so much fun.
While I watched Castle last night I started designing the yellow quilt on a double design wall. After I had about a third of it up on the wall, I realized I had the layout sheet upside down, LOL.
This is a layout from one of Kaffe's books. It is also a free download on the internet here. I need better light at the bottom of the quilt. Maybe I need to take the pictures during the daytime instead of at 10:30 at night. I have to work today, so no sewing until evening.
As much Kaffe fabric as I have, I have very few yellows, even tho it's one of my favorite colors. I have determined that I will NOT buy any more Kaffes until I use some more. But oooooh, those yellows. Yummm.
Upside down is okay. I heard a story yesterday of a woman who makes traditional quilts and never buys backing fabric, just makes it from leftover scraps. She had a show/sale in another city and got a call that her quilts were selling fast, and they wanted more to fill in the gaps in the show. Her and hubby drove to the other city with more quilts, only to discover that they had all been hung backwards! I'm still laughing!
My first visit to your beautiful Blog. I'm gald I'm not the only one that turns patterns upside down. With the Kaffe fabrics they are pretty from any side, don't you agree?
Thanks for posting this. I love this quilt--although yellow and pink used to be colors I didn't like. Your quilt is going to be absolutely beautiful! Have you decided how to quilt it?
Isn't it terrible how work gets in the way of creativity! You're colors are looking great...as usual!
