Well, I nearly didn’t post a design wall picture to link on Judy’s blog this week, because I’ve been mostly working on UFOs and didn’t have anything REALLY interesting to share. I know, you’re all thinking, when did that stop her before? Anyway, I did get 14 more nine-patches done this week for CrazyMomQuilts’ quilt-along, so here goes…
This is my first quilt built totally out of scraps from the tall waste basket I’ve been packing scraps into for the past four years or so. It was a real trip down memory lane, pulling out various bits of fabric and remembering what it originally went into. (Well, there were some I truthfully didn’t remember at all!) I did buy some navy blue for the sashings, so I thought I would throw the 14 new blocks with some sashings up on the design wall to see how I’m liking the blue (I have a total of 64 blocks done out of the 80 I will need).
This is an awful picture, but that’s what I get for waiting til dark to take a picture. The navy fabric is really navy; this looks more like the blue painter’s tape, and I think all the colors are a little wonky.
The big blocks on the left are for our guild’s BOM. The little fabric stacks pinned along the right edge are my “homework” for one of my UFOs (Judy L’s Shine On Bayou Cane).

yep it’s always good to see how things will go together. love the inspiration stacks hanging there.
that’s a nifty idea.
I don’t like the blue as much as a more muted color. seems a little over
powering. But then I am an new at this. I love the blocks on the left
side! Eileen
Ok- now is it just the light or is that a different blue from the original picture back in May? I liked that original blue in the May picture- this one looks a little dark or maybe I should say bright, but it could just be the lighting. Like those blocks on the left too!
