Today I finally figured out what I want to do for my grand daughter's quilt. I have been collecting pinks and black prints, but I did not have a definite plan yet. Today it hit me--AND--I felt like actually sewing! Before I could start cutting, I had to finish up that Field of Tulips top. I have been burnt out on those disappearing pinwheels, and just left them in a stack at my machine (only needing one more section sewn on the blocks). So I finished that up, added the top and bottom row of squares, sewed a stay-stitch around this stretchy top... and called it good for now.
It is now folded up and put into my UFO bin--more done than it was previously, so I am calling that progress made. I am tired of looking at it, so it is off my wall.
On to the baby quilt...
These fabrics (my phone made the colors washed out--darker in person):
Partially cut and ready to sew:
What will it be? It is a part of a current Quilt-a-Long... that is my only hint for now. I ran out of solid black, so I will be ordering more Kona. I wonder if anything else will fall into my basket? :) I have plenty to get the majority done, but with curved piecing it will likely take me at least two weeks to use what I have already (at the rate I have been sewing).
I am excited to finally have a direction to go in for this quilt.
Fun to sew for a Grand-daughter! I like Kona Cotton too. Is the nursery going with the pink and black theme? Have fun with your NEW project!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary I am glad to be sewing for a girl! :) We have so many boys in the family!! I'm not sure, but I have been seeing that pink and black seem to be popular. I sewed up a few test blocks, it's going to take some time, but I think it will look good when it's done. I don't know why I don't pick simpler designs for baby quilts, but maybe I like it that I can try out designs on a smaller scale, and the quilts have a purpose intended. I don't want another UFO :)
