It's always a good day when inspiration hits.
Don't you think?
You may or may not remember way back in March
when I had all the fabric cut for my son's quilt.
A wedding gift for Paul & Rachel.
They got married in December.
Au.then.tic + a red and a purple and more blacks.
Here are the blocks all cut...
Here are the blocks all cut...
then all sewn together...
I started putting the blocks together...
and didn't like how it was looking.
At all.
So, I put it all away.
Waited for inspiration.
And, waited.
woohoo...finally got some!
Inspiration, that is.
I reverse-sewed all the blocks.
Didn't take long.
A few nights in front of the tv.
I don't plan to mix the other
fabrics with the Au.then.tic. fabrics.
Maybe will use them on the back.
Time will tell.
I now have 2 blocks done.
fabrics with the Au.then.tic. fabrics.
Maybe will use them on the back.
Time will tell.
I now have 2 blocks done.
Started sewing the rectangles together
and then cutting them in half,
then making rows.
then making rows.
The 'squares' are not quite square,
but I wasn't going to trim them all.
And, in the end, it doesn't really matter.
Does it?
I have 2 blocks done...
36 'not quite squares' in a block...
each block measures about 16.5 x 18 inches.
There will be 25 blocks...
making the finished quilt about 80 x 87 inches.
(my largest quilt, yet!)
I think Paul and Rachel will be happy.
I know I will be.
As long as this comes out the way

I see it in my head, that is.

I think it looks good and it is always nice to see inside your head.
Oooh I like it. So in case the recipients don't like it, you can send it to me! :)

Wonderful fabric combinations, I think they will love it.
