I'm starting off today with the same photo I showed yesterday and next is the inspiration quilt so you can see the look I am working toward.
This quilt was made by Liza Pryor Lucy and is in the 1997 Glorious Patchwork. This caught my eye when I first bought this book but I never made it because it looked like I would have to use solid color fabric to reproduce it. Then over the years I accumulated the Marcia Derse lines which are perfect for it. I am making mine one row longer and I'm contemplating using 2 rows of the squares around the perimeter.
I found two more blues to work into the project. I sewed some more rows of 6 squares for the 36 patch blocks but didn't get the blocks sewn.
While I'm staring at the design wall contemplating my next move I work on the hand sewing on the binding of the colorwash quilted earlier this month. I have 3 sides done now.
Happy Birthday to me! 81, can you believe it??

Happy birthday, Wanda. You were my first quilting teacher and some 30+ yrs. later you're still teaching me (us) many interesting things about color. I remember drafting patterns in one of your classes thinking...oh no! MORE math!!! My days start out reading your posts and looking at your beautiful quilts. Here's to our continued friendship and wishes for a very happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Wanda!!!
