Sunday Projects #14

A great Sunday for sewing!

I am now working on a new quilt for a class

I am taking at the City Quilter.

The class is about using your orphan blocks and creating a unique quilt top.

After I saw Victoria's kitchen sink quilt,

(boy she is getting alot of ink, um pixels here this weekend! hehehehe)

I was very interested in learning how design and make this kind of quilt.

This is what I laid out in the classroom.

Judy, our teacher, gave me quite a few of her

orphan blocks to add in.

Just makes it that much more fun!

Hahaha. now I can't change the font size back.

I hope you can all see well enough to read this.

I so need a cute techie to help me with this stuff!

At my house I have a design floor, not wall, so not as easy to move things around.

So, (thank goodness, back to larger type.)

I started to put it together and it was a challenge I have to say.

I put together areas that seemed to be easier to piece first.

As I went to more difficult intersections,

I kinda of ripped the design all apart

and started rearranging.

I have been piecing filler strips and areas,

adding colorful fabric to make things a tad bigger.

It's a bit like playing tetris! I was pretty good at that,

not 14 year old boy good at it, but good enough.

So this is how it looks today,

I'm sure it is going to change as I piece it.

I'll keep you "posted."

Sometmes I crack myself up!

Hope you had a creative Sunday!
