A little more sewing, a closer look at the fabrics

I used a lot of fabrics that are different than the ones in the book.  I thought you might like to see some of them closer.  A lot of them are Philip Jacobs and a few Martha Negley in addition to all of the Kaffe Fassett fabrics.









Here is a another section.  I used a lot of different fabrics.














I took this shot from a different angle than yesterday, hoping to capture the essence of the fabrics a little better.  I have just one seam that needs sewing in the left section.  The middle section is about 3/4 sewn.  The 6 squares on the bottom of the center row are sewn together so there is just that section above them to finish.
Yesterday was errand day and I went to computer club at night so there was only about an hour and a half to sew.  More time today I hope.

This quilt is packed with "WOW" and I'm loving the colors! Shoot, just patting the fabrics would make me happy!

These are my colors. I looked through my Kaffe fabrics and I don't have these. Mine are more of the deeper hues. I've only started collecting him since early summer, so not so much yet. Also, could I impose and ask as to what you learned in computer class? Is it for the embroidery or just computer stuff. thanks, Hilary

Thanks for the close up of fabrics.... even better when I enlarged the photo's. How big is this one ? It looks like a queen for sure if not a king size.

It has to be fun joining the fabrics and watching them meld into a wonderful piece of artwork.
