The colorwash wall hanging is still on the design wall and I'm enjoying it there. To its left is the first few squares that are sewn for the new quilt.
I sewed all 32 of this button print to the larger pieces in the early afternoon yesterday.
Here are the other three triangle prints with 32 of the larger pieces selected to sew to the triangles. I still have a little cutting to do to have enough blocks for a baby quilt.
My sewing project last night was the hanging sleeve on one of the quilts for my grandson and his wife.
I got all of the hand sewing done last night. This sleeve was about 40" long. Now I have to do the 2 part hanging sleeve on the larger quilt which is 75" across. The 2 part sleeve is black and the backing is a black background batik. I might try to sew the top edge in place by machine with invisible or black thread.

I think the button corners are just so adorable--what a fun idea...

I showed my husband the colorwash quilt and he was amazed! I love looking at it.
I like how all the accent triangles are in the same color group. It gives a nice cohesiveness.
I agree with Julierose, your color wash quilt deserves to be enjoyed/admired :-) Funny you mention sewing on black as black is what Patty is dealing with, light sucking black!
I would want to look at that color wash for awhile too!
You can get lost in the colorwash . . . that b/w print is awesome.
Fun post today Wanda. I can’t remember seeing your grandsons quilt before … would love to see it in full view. Your pastel squares shows it’s going to be another ‘winner’ ~ so pretty with a punch of a dark corner. And last but not least by any means… Color wash is a supreme work of art to be admired forever.
You surely never run out of great ideas for quilts and effortlessly move from machine sewing blocks to bindings to hanging sleeves and each quilt is so wonderfully unique and happily colorful!
DS1 and DIL prefer black/white and I've had crossed eyes sewing black fabric with black thread!
I'd never get tired of looking at your newest colorwash quilt. It's glorious!
Hugs!
