Well we know I completely finished three quilts recently. And we also know that a finish means a start right?
I've had this project sat in the wings awaiting it's turn for some time. I had the first batch of papers and fabrics basted and ready to go at a moments notice. So last week I made a start on the sewing.
Chooky inspired me yet again. I saw her version of Sue Daley's Floral Lanterns in blue of course, and I was hooked.
Mine will be blue too.
Most of these blue fabrics were purchased by Tony when he was away on a work trip a couple of years ago. I have added a few more since then with this project in mind and the white I also purchased specifically for this project.
I'm enjoying stitching the blocks together, they are really quick and easy to do, even with the Y seam.
When I started this morning I had a wee pile already made and a whole pile waiting to be sewn.
By mid afternoon I had run out of prepared pieces. So had a quick play with layout. Some of those paler blues prompted a quick shuffle.
Since then I have prepared more pieces, they are basted and ready to go.
Initially I thought to make this quite a small project, but I changed my mind this afternoon. This project is evolving. I may need to dig into my blue stash for more fabrics and hunt for more white spots on white.
Thanks again for the inspiration Chooky. You enabler you!
