Last week I stopped at my LQS to pick up some thread. Vicky was looking at this book and mentioned that she wanted to do that quilt. "Wow, I have that book and I bought one for Rebekah at the same time. Lets do a block a month and by next year we will have all the blocks done for this quilt." says I....... We agreed to begin in February. We decided on 20 inch blocks. I went to Staples next to have the pattern enlarged to the size we needed. Rebekah agreed to join us and Friday I mailed her enlargements off to her.
Next we began a discussion of the the fabrics we would use. Vicky is thinking of a black background. Rebekah is looking at a purple background. I will be using the same fabric I am using on the Faye Anderson blocks as I have so much of it. Above are my fabric selections. I will begin prepping my first block this week. Sorry for the blurry picture but I had been sewing for a couple of hours this morning. That makes the back cranky and I cannot hold the camera steady.
I am sorry your back is acting up. I got my enlargements today. Somehow I didn't picture them as big as they are. I have to get the fabric. I am still going with the purple. This is going to be so much fun.

I love the colours you have chosen for this project.
ReplyDeleteTake care of your back. Sew 15 minutes, take a break and then sew again. Looking forward to see your blocks in progress.
Pretty fabrics. It must be fun to work on a project with a quilting buddy/friend/relative. None of my friends even want to learn to sew on buttons!
ReplyDelete18 Ufo quilt Suze? You will be busy indeed ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sewing machines.
I am looking forward to see more of your applique blocks and blocks from your new applique book too :-)
