aha! moment


Another UFO dug out....
This is from last summer... I contemplated a bit to long on what I wanted for borders, then today as I was looking over my stash, the above border print , jumped right out, into my hands!!

Well, not really, but it was my light bulb moment... I pulled it out along with the UFO, and well, I like it!
Just gotta finish a few others rows of pink and brown... cut some borders, andskeedaddle that top right out of here....

Oh, right, I was supposed to be finishing my quilting on the tile quilt....
geez...(procrastinate, procrastinate)
Tomorrow?



I worked on a few of those Sunset blocks for my March quilt bee project.... I need 25 blocks, and will ask my bee helpers to make 11 of the blocks... I cut all the fabrics so it just needs to be pieced... (alright already about the pink) ;-)
I mean SALMON color.... ;-)


Each block will have big green squares and the inner around the 9 patch will be yellow and green or green and yellow...
then the 9 patch 5 will all be RED, with some other bright in the space...

I can't believe I am making this quilt... But I am quite happy with it so far...
Perhaps I am changing? Or perhaps I am getting more patience....
I vote for patience...


Fun to look at it like this.... I have no idea what to sash it with... But I am thinking something with STRIPES...
Like I did on this crazyBeanz patch one...

or even maybe no sashing?

But who knows, anytime I think I know ahead of time what I am doing, it never comes out as planned, so I rather fly by the seat of my pants....

That's way more fun!

  6. Colorful with lots of green. :o) Stripes will be terrific or perhaps stripes just for the binding. Either way YES to stripes.

  14. Ooooooh I vote NO sashing - look at all those secondary patterns that emerge when you push those blocks together. I would never get bored looking at that quilt - there is so much to see!!

  17. I know actually thinking and planning is what guarantees that I would mess up the quilt;)

  20. OMG, this post is loaded with eye candy! Love those blocks. If you're looking for suggestions, I think I'd audition very narrow sashing strips between. Just enough to visually separate the blocks. Your color choices are spectacular.

  21. These all look great! I love the color choices.

  22. wheee. love those sunset blocks - I can completely understand hanging in there and doing so many. love it without the sashing! that striped example is sooo cute, but no sashing still gets my vote.
