Wednesday

What's on the design board?

This month I am starting fresh. I'm not sure how thing will go, there are many family birthdays that are celebrated this month so I'm not really sure about my sewing time. I think I will have to be very diligent in order to accomplish things.

I thought I would try something new so I got out my Farm Girl Vintage book and my scrap basket. I made a few sample blocks in order to plan out a color way for a sampler quilt. The blocks on my design board are the results of that process. I really don't know which block I like best. Do I use up some bright colors or do I go with the vintage softer colors? I am just not sure where this project is going. Maybe I should put away my scrap basket and start with new fabrics because I am not thrilled with any of these blocks.

I do love auditioning things on my design board though and I love looking back at my progress over the months. I feel very lucky today.

  2. if you look at the original quilt she has some brights and some more muted tones. I think when you get more blocks done you will see they all play nice with each other. I too struggled with that but took a "devil may care" attitude and I am liking them so far.
