It's Day 3 after the big snow, and the sun finally is out. How wonderful to see the brightness, and some melting. I decided to take photos on the porch of the two I got quilted. One is a smaller scrap basket weave and the 3-D Bow Tie.
You can tell how bright the sun is from these. Just the bindings to add now.
I put together about 15 rows of strips yesterday from my scrap boxes. I didn't have a design for the layout, just thought I would see what happened. I had a lot more light and medium blues and greens than dark fabrics. That surprised me.
Anyway, I sort of strung the lights and mediums together by value without being too selective as I stitched. Then I did the same for the darks and a few mediums. Once I pressed the rows, they went up onto the design wall. When I stepped back to see what I had to work with.....this is pretty much (I only switched two rows) what I had. I actually like it....it will make a perfect background for some sort of applique. I think I can get a few more rows of mainly darks and medium from the scrap boxes. Right now this is 60" long and 32" wide.
Anyone else doing the journal quilt challenge? I have been thinking about the one for next week. I went through my sketch book looking for an inspiration. I came up with 2.....playing with shadows and zentangles.
Till then, happy stitching.
