Sew Fantastic: Square it Up!
Don't you just love the smell of fabric fibers coming off the metal in your rotary blade? No?? Must just be me. I believe that quilting is more of a personality for me. Like having a second me doing all this fun creative crazy stuff and then the real me looks at it and says "where did that come from" With the movement of modern quilting taking such a big part of my new found love for piecing those little tiny scraps of fabric.
I find now, that the things I used to think of as tedious are now my favorite parts of the quilting process. Even after quilting for 15 years, I find something new that I love about quilting every time I start one.
I spent some time squaring up my blocks for the Fat Quarterly Quilt along (I am already way behind). I love those solid Kona colors in such a simple, yet modern pattern. Those crisp edges get me every time.
Do you see how much of a difference it makes on my design board from pieces to pieced!
And unfortunately my fabric organization project has floated by the wayside.... but here is a progress shot.
Love your quilt Terri...such a fantastic way to showcase solids!
I am starting to fall in love with solids, your quilt is wonderful. and I agree we just keep on learning and trying new things. The fun never gets old. You fabric looks great!!!
Such a beautiful show of solids. Do you think this is a quilt that would be ok for a 12 year old boy? Is it too grown up I wonder?
You're not the only one behind on the FQ quilt-along! I have all my blocks pieced but don't like four of them and am now stuck! That looks like a lot of work, organizing all your fabric like that, but what a sight to behold! :-) And you'll have LOTS more room for more, more, more - it looks like a whole 'nother shelf!
I love your color combinations! The plummy-brick and pink square next to the lime green is yummy... :) Definitely taking inspiration from your colors.
I kinda like the blocks before they're assembled. There's an edginess and motion that the finished ones don't have!
Good on ya for being so organized!
Your FQ blocks are beautiful and will look amazing all quilted up! I must say, that is one impressively organized fabric shelf - I have envy.
Nice work, both the quilt and organizing! I'm so jealous of all the folded fabric. I'm waiting for the rush of the holidays to tackle mine. Too many quilts in planning and I'm hoarding the fabric for them! eep!
Love your quilt. I also like the your fabric organization...it makes my mouth drool.
I get so happy when my seams all line up. :) what a beautiful quilt top and boy that's a lot of fabric!
I LOVE your fabric organization project! It really is the best way I have every seen to make your fabrics visible, accessible, and organized.
Your solid quilt is spectacular!
Your quilt is amazing Terri! What a beauty!!
AAACK!!! I LOVE your organized fabric shelf!! LOVE! I so want to do that with all of my fabric! And I just want to say about your "SEW much to catch up on" post that I think you should leave the prints in the boy quilt;) I love those dots - what fabric is that?
