Tumbler quilt.

Here is some progress on my tumbler quilt.

Wish  me luck on getting this one finished in time for the exhibit. Need to lock

myself in my sewing room, and not come out for a week!!! That would be heaven!!

l have missed my sewing machine sew much!!!

Mind you , l think l have cut enough tumblers for about 6 quilts!!!

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.



Then there's the Red and White quilt!!

Well, its not exactly red and white, but its close, and it was definitely inspired by the

Infinite Variety Exhibit in NYC earlier this year.



This is just the first in a series of red and white quilts l am working on,

that are directly inspired by the exhibit.  When l came home,

l just wanted to sew red and white, but with no white fabric in my stash,

 l just used what l had. l still love it!! Can't beat a 9 patch in a 9 patch.

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.

That Quilt!!

Did you guess right again??

Again, l just love!!! this quilt. l have been in love with this zig zag setting for so long,

and finally this was the right quilt to use it on.  l love how the different fabrics can make

 the block look so different. Can't wait to see this one finished. 

It will also hang in our exhibit.

 l can see more quilts with this setting in my future.

l still have a few bags of blocks to use, so need to keep plodding along with them.

Spent the day at stashbusters today, nothing much to show,

just cutting more tumblers for my tumbler quilt.

Have used about 285 different Jo fabrics so far!!

Though l here that there are about 1,000 different fabrics Jo has designed.

Thanks for visiting.

Linda.

This Quilt!!

 Here is what l chose. l wonder if it's  what you would have done!! 

 l really love this pink/red fabric. And l am very pleased with how the quilt  looks.

Can't wait to see it quilted. This quilt will hang in our exhibit in 4 weeks.

Next l played with these blocks, also from a swap online.

Again, all Jo Morton fabrics.

Hhmmm!!!   This fabric or that fabric for the setting???

You know the drill. Come back tomorrow!!!

Thanks for visiting.

Those Quilts!!

           Remember this little pile way back here?

Well some of them are off to the quilter tomorrow.

So l  thought l would show you them before,

and then again when my machine quilter has performed her magic on them.

The one on the left was using some four patches that l had made.

The one on the right was using some left over half square triangels that were just lying around.

 Then l played with these swap blocks from  an earlier swap with

Jo Mortons online stitching group.

These are all Jo Morton Fabrics.

Which one would you choose?

Come back tomorrow  and l will show you!!!

Thanks for visiting.
