I love that Judy Laquidara asks us on Mondays, What’s on your design wall? Sometimes it’s just the nudge I need to get something new done and up there, even if it’s only a block. Our quilt guild is doing a BOM, and I’m actually a month/block ahead! We started in January by doing two months, January & December, so we could hopefully have at least the top done and ready to be shown at this December’s meeting. I just have October & November’s blocks to go. I have a chocolate brown Fusions fabric picked out for the sashings, but I’ll see how that looks when all the blocks are done.
New this week is the Corn and Beans block at the top of the middle column. These blocks are all done in Asian-inspired fabrics, and this quilt will be offered to my DIL Lynn, if she still likes it when it’s done.
Judy L’s new Quilt For An Hour (QFAH) project starts today. I hope to get my hour in tonight after our guild’s monthly meeting. This looks like a fun and easy quilt, and I don’t see any half-square triangles in sight! I pulled the fabrics yesterday from my stash. It was so much fun, and only took about ten minutes. I also had a red and orange option I could have taken, but I was won over with this raspberry/aqua/purple/blue combination. PLUS this is about eight yards out of stash!
Yes, as Kare in Ohio pointed out yesterday, My name is Sue, and I am a Judy Junkie. There, I said it! At least I know I’m not alone — there are a lot of us out there. Her patterns are such great stash busters, her quilts are always fun and interesting, so it’s hard to resist jumping in and getting an extra quilt top done.
