Projects half Done, that is. I finally got back to Judy L’s Star BOM blocks, and here are blocks 11 and 12 (only ONE MORE BLOCK to go!!!):
This morning, Judy posted her layout plan for the Stash Quilt she’s shared. (And if you’re not sure you have time for this quilt, it took me two hours to stitch up the 28 blocks, including pressing.) All my blocks are made out of stash, and, even better — leftovers from another quilt, hiding in a bag! Here is the layout for my blocks (may do some more tweaking):
This morning Judy posted the fabric requirements for the setting triangles and borders. I was determined to only pull from stash, I did’t care if nothing “works”, this is truly going to be a STASH Quilt. I pulled a bunch of fabric off my shelves and brought it up to audition it next to the blocks. I’ve had this rosy paisley fabric (really crappy fabric, kind of stiff, had it forever and it just doesn’t seem to go away). It looks pretty good with these blocks! I have 7 or so yards of this fabric, so I’m going to use it for the setting triangles as well as the outer border; then use the rest up in the backing. For the first border, I’m going to use this brownish gold (or goldish brown), which is actually a very pretty fabric:
I’m really liking how my “Judy Projects” are coming together. Later this week I will get back to the Bears in the Farmhouse quilt, now that I’ve decided on a sashing fabric. I’m loving that one too! Then I have to get back to some “Sue Projects”!!!
