My plans for this year are to use up some of the fabrics in my stash and also to finish a few more UFO's. My first stash quilt is just about done. I cut a lot of my blue and white fabrics into 6" squares. Then I put light and dark ones together and made half square triangles.
This is the result. I still need to put sashing around the outer edge and some sort of border.
I have no idea why I decided at some point to make these little 3-D triangles, but they were a pain to do. Probably every time someone sits on the bed, they will catch something on the 3-D squares...what was I thinking?? I should have showed a section where my corners met a little more perfectly....oh, well. I really struggled with the bulky seams!
Below is another blue project. I have a lot of blue fabrics to use up!
This year's challenge in our guild is to make a quilt based on a song title. I didn't intend to do it because I have no inspiration telling me what song to do. But I just happened to pull this unfinished piece out to work on, and realized that it has a song title in it! Maybe you see it, maybe you don't. Take a guess. Look at the close up while thinking about it.
I plan to put a scalloped border on it. Have never done one before.....seeking advice from friends who have. I had a hard time finding a fabric to use for the border , but think I will like this piece that it is laying on in the photo.
Have you thought of a song title yet?
I am going to embroider a small red rose in the lady's hand. Maybe that will help you?
Think 60's easy listening.....maybe Bobby Vinton or Dean Martin?
