By noon yesterday I had 6 more blocks completed to go with the 10 from yesterday. I moved them down to the basement on the same design wall as my warm blocks.
From the time I started making them I knew I wanted to try some of the deep pink blocks mixed in like flowers.
I continued sewing and completed all 27 blocks and the 27 duplicate blocks while I watched some "Bones" episodes on Netflix.
I took out the deep pink blocks and put all 17 blocks up on the wall. I need to chose 5 more pairs of fabrics to complete the 63 blocks.
I even got all of the leftovers trimmed into straight strips. It was so hot and humid out that staying in and sewing was the only sensible thing to do.
love the blocks and the colors you are using. Never got into the Bones show I guess the main character is too different from the one in the books which I read first and that spoiled it for me. I might need to give it another try as it has now been a long time since I read the books.
After watching the beautiful blue 16 patch evolve I decided to do a beige/cream, browns and greys for my neice who is getting married in Jan. Those are her color choices and I have found almost 20 so far in batiks-need more greys. I love all of yours and your directions were great.
Another day of this horrible heat and then the front comes through and cools us off a bit. It is great weather to stay indoors and sew. Tomorrow is my day to do just that. At least today had a bit of rain this afternoon.
I love watching your progress on these blocks. You could end up with a very Christmas like quilt! I LOVE Bones... great show!
ReplyDeleteYou were moving at warp speed.
ReplyDeleteSome days a girl just has to sew and stay busy that way. Looks like you are having fun. Chris
ReplyDeleteLots of progress in the heat! I like the pink in the green, but maybe as stars, so they really look like flowers????
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the pink in the green, Wanda. You really can say they are flowers. A green bush with flowers. A pink rose bush?

You were on a roll yesterday! I love the idea of mixing the blocks from the 2sets.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking those green blocks! I think you have the best stash ever!!
ReplyDeleteStay cool and keep quilting. We all like seeing your creativity in progress!

love the variety you have going on and yes, sewing is perfectly sensible on a hot humid day - or any other for that matter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sewing/playing day you had! You know how to beat the heat. I love the green.
ReplyDeleteThis is like a puzzle guessing where the next piece will fit in. Much fun to watch it grow.

I love the pink mixed in with the green! Made me think of peonies.
