I needed to move this quilt over to a single design wall so I sewed the first four columns together. Then I moved the loose pieces over by it and also sewed the last 6 blocks. I haven't pressed them yet and I'll finish designing this after the art quilters leave this afternoon. It is only about 62" long so it is definitely going to need a border.
I also cut the white with black print into strips and tried them in this piece. (All black background shown yesterday.) No decision made and I removed the pieces from the wall so I could use my lint roller and clean 5 design walls. Cookies are baked.
Have fun! I do enjoy both quilts but I think the first one is stunning in its use of neutrals to frame the color. I have been more under the weather than usual and not following my blogs for a while. It is nice to come back and see that you are still the accomplished artist with fabric. :)
What a great thing to have a place for quilters to come and create. I'm sure your friends appreciate you more than you could ever know. Throwing in cookies is just icing on the cake!
I particularly like the first quilt -- thinking about my leftover strata bits for the centers and my assortment of scrappy neutrals for the surrounds . . . hmmmm
I love both quilts with the crumb made blocks. I need to get mine into some quilt form. Cookies and quilting? What could be better?

ReplyDeleteI do like those B&W and W&B striped fabrics! They look so good against the colorful blocks! The crumb quilt is coming along nicely too.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting to see your final decision on the background for the lower quilt. It is always fun to see your process working.

ReplyDeleteThe bottom quilt is interesting and exciting but it's being completely eclipsed by the top quilt! That one is REALLY interesting.
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion, but I love love love the black fabric with those blocks!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the white is better. I also like the squares blocks.
