Okay, I am admitting to getting distracted! Have you seen the Summer Sampler Series quilt-a-long? I think I am in love with Faith's idea of doing it all in solids. I just love the mock up. I want to use what I already have though. So I am thinking of doing this one in girly colorway of Hope Valley with a few added solids.
I also caught up this week on the Kaleidoscope quilt-a-long over at Don't Call Me Betsy. I chose the pink colorway from Modern Meadow, and I can't wait to put these blocks together and see how it comes out. I was inspired by this version that I saw in the Flickr pool, and so I will be using solids for my triangles.
Here is what one of the blocks should look like!
I did finish a couple of my smaller projects on my Finish It Up! list as well. This a little coaster set from the book "I Love Patchwork". I used some French General for this little set, and it took me all of ten minutes to finish!
I also finished this Inset Clutch. (You can find the pattern at Keyka Lou.) I started this one at the same time as the one I made for my partner in The Pretty Little Pouch Swap. However, when I finished hers I just not motivated to finish this one. I don't know why I put off things that only take a little bit more effort! Shameful. ;0)
I am in the quilt-y mood, and I am determined to get working on more of the quilts on my list!
Hope everyone has a very happy 4th of July!
God bless America!
well done Meg you have been very busy,and i love your 1st pic the colours are beautiful together
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fabric you chose for the summer sampler! I happen to have the solids, so I think I'll do that. Using my DS prints for Kaleidoscope - I like the layout you chose. Guess I missed that on the flickr page....I like it though!
ReplyDeleteI saw that quilt along too and was sooooooo tempted. I also say that Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom is starting a 36 patch quilt along. AHHHH! And I love your pinks!
ReplyDeleteThe summer series sampler blocks look absolutely beautiful! All solids would be amazing! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteYou're so whizzing through your WIP list I'm a tad jealous!! My work/family balance is getting in the way of much sewing round here just now. Ack!
ReplyDeleteMeg - Your colors look awesome - but I think I've got enough on my plate to join another QAL. I jealous too that you've got so much done!
