First up I was working on my Cutting Corners quilt and got the top completed.
Here is the backing I am going to use. So I start to put my back together and figure out (should have known) it isn't big enough. So I head into town to our Quilt Shop for some white to add to the back. They only have 1 3/4 yards of white in the shop. I take it.
So now I still need a backing for this Christmas quilt and I now have some for the stash. That stash sure does built up fast.
Then I came across this very cute, light and airy fabric from Camelot Fabrics, called The Beach House. It was so cute, it had to come home with me.
So now I'm home with nothing to sew. So I went into my leftovers from Quilt #8 and #11. I sewed and cut these blocks, now I'm not sure what to do with them.
Well at least I have something to do today. Ironing and deciding how to lay out for a top.
Sometimes when I am trying to decide what to work on, or I can't work on the project that I WANT to work on then I'll take a bin of scrap and just dump it out on my bed or floor. Nothing like memories from the scraps to get the creative juices flowing. :)
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were tempted by the Beach House. Gorgeous fabric! Your hourglass blocks are cute and bright. Maybe you didn't finish anything, but there are good bones here for future projects!
ReplyDeleteI like the hourglass blocks a lot! So graphic. I have many backs folded up because they too did not actually make the grade when I paired them up with the top. Guess I will have to keep sewing more tops!😂
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how fabric can grow and multiply. :) The Beach House line is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope you come up with a plan. The colours of the triangles are wonderful.
