I feel like I have so much to blog about I hardly know where to start! :) Lately I have been thinking up great blog posts in my head when I am away from my computer, and then when I sit down to actually write those posts I blank on what I was going to say… I think I need to just jump back in to find my voice. So expect a lot more posts from me in the next few weeks (including a couple of giveaways :).
Yesterday I started a new quilt which brings my total quilts in progress up to 4 – if you also count Amandajean’s nine patch quilt along that I just joined. She is starting round 2 and I missed out on round 1 so I just had to join in. Honestly for the quilt along I will probably end up making 7 blocks at the beginning or end of the week instead of a block a day…
The quilt I started yesterday is just a bunch of 6 inch squares from fabrics in my stash that I am going to piece together. I cut out all the squares yesterday & then set them out on my cutting table. I think this afternoon I will probably start sewing all of the squares together.
Totally wishing I had a quilt wall like the one that Katie has (last photo on that post). I had to set my cutting mats on top of the fabric layout I decided on, since I figured the cats might like to give their design input otherwise :)
You should check out Blair at Wisecrafts post on how she made a quilt wall. The fabrics are lovely. I have 4 under my bed.
this quilt is going to be amazing. I look forward to the end product.
Very pretty! I’m working on a patchwork quilt too. I just cut out squares from all the cotton fabrics I own and started sewing them together. It’s been a lot of fun and a good project for me because I can stop when I need to and pick it up again when I have time.
I can’t wait to see how your’s turns out. Where do you buy your fabrics? Do you buy locally or do you order off the internet?
that is going to be a very pretty quilt!
The stash of squares looks great. Lovely fabrics. I see some Arcadia, but you added other fabrica as well. Pretty, pretty!!
I can relate to the blog post stuff. Whenever I’m in the writing modus, I write a number of posts, which I gradually post after I’ve taken pictures. It works for me.
That is a very good suggestion from Nicolette. I type ideas immediately on my phone/PDA memo feature as they come to me.
This will be a beautiful quilt!
