And another one.

2 months ago

This is a takeoff of Jordan Fabrics latest quilt with some slight changes, and using more of those Kaffe fabrics.

When Donna did the cutting, she did about five different variations, I pretty much stuck to one with a few of a second cut.

Layout is higgledy piggledy as she did but I did try to separate the lighter blocks from the darker ones.

Quilting was a dilemma but I decided to do what I call drunken quilting, just wavy lines across the width. That was easy to do and I think it works with this pattern.

And of course, there are a few boo-boos. I was being very careful with the white on white, making sure the right side was up. But the quilting elves have to work their mischief, and as I was ironing the whole top, I found a couple upside down, and not in the skinny strips but in the wider strips. Ah well, they keep me humble!!!

I only watched the first video so far but found it so charming-- something she said in the beginning of the video really resonated with me: they both work at home so having a lovely space was important to them. Yes! I am feeling the same ... I have started and stalled or put a number of projects on hold. I have been nesting these last few weeks and am ready to restart some of them. Not sure I am going to take on painting walls just yet but definitely the fireplace (when I am no longer using it daily) and some furniture. Little touches make such a difference. Thank you for sharing -- it is inspiring and charming.

That's a nice one! I have a horrible time telling which is up on a white on white. I just hope everyone else had the same problem I have.

I really like this one, too! I like your quilting, too. I have to remember that when I'm stumped on how to do one and do it fairly quickly!

Theresa, I love your quilt. What a perfect pattern to use the Kaffe Fasset fabrics, and you did a great gob with arranging the blocks colorwise. Your drunken quilting was just right for this quilt. I know what you mean about the white-on-white fabric. The top I just finished had a light oatmeal color print that was next to impossible to determine right from wrong side. I had to be so careful.
