I have 2 groups of fabric chosen for the next 16 patch quilts. This is one group. I cut 2.5" strips of my African fabrics when I was cutting pieces to share with 2 friends earlier this year. I will add in black strips too, all to be decided as I work on it.
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments yesterday. My friend enjoyed reading them too. I had a busy day and didn't respond to the comments like I usually do. I sold one of my embroidery machines to a mother and daughter team and told them I would give them a refresher course whenever they needed it. I spent most of the day with them and they fed me a most wonderful feast for lunch with several desserts. I should have taken photos but I was too busy eating.
Time with friends is very important now. I'm not a big social butterfly and friendships can help in hard times. Looks like you are well on your way to another series. Chris
I love African fabrics, too. I am very interested in how this one turns out. Do you have a reliable source for these fabrics? I used to buy them at the major quilt shows (Houston, Paducah) in the past, but I haven't seen the vendor, an African guy, in several years.
Wow! Those colours are awesome!! I really must step outside my comfort zone and try something like this too!!
ReplyDeletewell it sounds like a delightful way to spend the day - what better than several desserts and among friends! those fabrics you show are wild :)

ReplyDeleteOMG Wanda, how big are the 16 quilts you plan to design ? Or does your design predict how big it ends up ?
ReplyDeleteI loved your garden series so much, I know this next series will be as exciting.
Wish I lived near to take that refresher course with your Mom and daughter team. You know I need one for sure. (*._,*)
