I don’t very often find time to work on projects of my own, so my stash busting is a long, slow, drawn out process. But this week I do have some stash used!
In=0
Out=2 2/3
YTD In=21
YTD out=29 1/2
Busted = 8 1/2 yards!!
2 2/3 yards were used for border, backing and binding on this crumb quilt. I didn’t count the muslin or the crumbs… This quilt was sent to Quilts for Kids along with the one from the kit that they sent me.
I named this one “Beach Glass in a Box”. It reminds me of a special someone who collects beach glass and keeps it all over her house in jars and boxes…all the bright colors in varied shapes and sizes.
The next crumb quilt will be stars…don’t have a name for it yet, but I can see the quilt in my mind.
On the frame this week, a commissioned quilt for a friend. Queen size, pattern ‘Dream Weaver’ from Cindy Casciato’s ‘Block Explosion’. Here are a couple pictures of it before it went on the frame.
And one block:
Customer chose fabrics and pattern, her bedroom is purple and green. I found a King Tut variegated that is the perfect purple. I am using it in the outer border, small purple border, and in the square in a square made with the floral and purple triangles. I’ll see if I can get some pictures of the quilting later in the week. Did piano keys in the outer floral border; undulating freehand feather/leaves in the green border; and created a design with shallow CC & feather/leaves for the SIAS part of the block. I am liking it so far.
No idea yet what I am going to do in the lighter ‘stripes’ that are formed. I had thought to repeat the undulating freehand feather/leaves, but that stripe is so wide that I am not sure how it will look.
This happens to be the same pattern I used for the quilt I made for myself. So now I will know how I want to quilt mine…whenever I get around to it…yeah, right!
