The newest Kaffe Fassett book came in the mail a couple days ago and I finally had time to look through it. I had seen a few kits for quilts in the book advertised at quilt shops that carry a lot of his fabric.
Here is a snippet of one of the quilts that I liked. I like green quilts and that border fabric is one that I really like. I have been thinking about making another quilt with lots of triangles in it.
It made me think about 2 quilts I made in 2022 and 2023. I just made a lot of blocks, thinking they would all go in one large quilt. In the end I decided I liked the darker blocks separate from the lighter blocks. The lighter one is my favorite and I think I might need to make another one, maybe not in Kaffe fabric next time or a mix of Kaffe collective fabrics and other fabrics together.
I was pretty much pain free yesterday so I did some outside work. I watered all of the pots on the porch and the ones in front of the garage. There aren't many blooms on them but they are all still green plants so I have hope for a few more blooms. Then I watered the tomato and cucumber plants. They really needed it sooner but I just didn't get it done before I had the shot to my SI joint. Then I had to take a day off so finally it happened yesterday. We might have rain a few days this week. This was yesterday's bounty, a little less than the day before. Maybe the watering will encourage more to ripen.
Just lovely triangle quilts, Wanda;))) Happy to hear you had a pain-free day-, too. 70.3 degrees, DP 70--so muggy once again!! Yesterday was one lovely day though--perfect for my daughter and three of my grands to visit--;))) Lovely to catch up with their doings and hear about their new jobs.... hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeletePretty much pain free days are wonderful….I hope you are able to get a whole string of them. Of your two quilts, I like the dark squares one best, lol.
ReplyDeleteI think of your version of Cut Glass Dish every time I see the block. (I peruse books and magazines.) Thanks for the notice of the new book. I have all but one. Tomato harvest is in full swing.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lime Twist quilt too! Glad you're feeling better and able to do more.
ReplyDeletethose are lovely quilts and his books are always interesting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful magazine edition of quilting for you. I know it has given you idea’s for your future creations. Last day of your Fair (sigh)
ReplyDeleteLime Twist is such a pretty quilt. I can't wait to see wait you make. I am glad you are pain free so far! What a relief that must be on your body and mind.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting contrast between the dark and light version of this quilt! I like how the squares seem to float across the quilt in the lighter version.
