Well, I've decided I would like to make a strip quilt for my Hands 2 Help Quilt. I wanted to try something more modern looking with straight line quilting at the end. I found two great examples/tutorials here at Twin Fibers and Film in the Fridge. Not sure if I want to add the ric-rac to the strips...but it might look cute in pink on plain white strips of fabric. We'll see!
On another note, I have the fabric picked out for Ilona's birthday quilt. I know she loves black, white and red. I found a cute black and white fabric collection and bought the fat quarter bundle at The Joyful Quilter. I also found a beautiful fabric for the back. It has a red background with black and white flowers. I think she is going to really like it! I took a picture of the pattern I'm going to make. It's hard to tell what it will look like in black and white...sometimes I start to think it would look better as a log cabin quilt with the dark/light contrast in fabric colors.
Here is a peek at the fabric:
This is my favorite dark fabric print.
And now for the lights!
This is my favorite light fabric.
Here is the fabric for the back.
I LOVE THIS!
I would like to make a quilted bag of this for myself!
So cute!
Sunny can hardly keep his head up and eyes open!
He is waiting so patiently for me to finish so I will play ball with him.
Skye, she doesn't care about what I'm doing. Not when Mike is in the kitchen with food out!
We call her "Hoover" now.
Have a great first day of April!
(and no playing tricks on Nana kids!)
