After what feels like an eternity of not working on any quilt whatsoever (it's only been two weeks, to be precise, but you know what I mean :)), I finally started a new quilt last night.
I pulled these lovely blues, whites, and grays in record time and decided to go with a classic 16 patch block - I just love the simplicity and old time charm of these blocks.
I'm using Erica's tutorial , her strip piecing technique is so quick with very little waste. I finished 10 blocks last night, I need just 14 more before I decide on the sashing, yay!
Can't wait to see them all on my design wall. But, before I do that, I have to do something about all those small wips, plus some homeless finished projects, on my wall.
Can you tell I've been into paper piecing lately? And pink, I love pink so very much these days :)
And seeing Lola enjoying all the quilty goodness.
Your blue choices are great.
ReplyDeleteYour 16 patch blocks look fab and I bet Lola will love rolling on them once they are turned into a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your colours for the new quilt.
ReplyDeleteAck, the design wall is delish! Love those envelope blocks!!!

I love the colours and fabrics in your new quilt, and your design wall is gorgeous! Especially love the envelopes and how tiny and cute is that hedgehog!
ReplyDeleteYour design wall is SO pretty. But your 16-patch blocks will be lovely there as well.
ReplyDeleteYour sixteen patches will make such a lovely soft looking quilt! And what a pretty collection on your design wall. You could make a sampler with your UFO's!
ReplyDeleteNice new project Svetlana. Also, I love everything on your design wall, especially the pinwheels.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope another puzzle piece quilt is in the works! I remember the one you did with orphan blocks that was just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like the low volume prints you have. I just bought a bunch myself to make a quilt, but I'm still deciding on the pattern I want to use. I am waffling between something from this book, Angles with Ease by Heather Mulder Peterson, or a hst quilt that makes big stars. I like your patchwork with yours. Very very pretty.
Love ,love this combination , can't wait to see it sewn .
ReplyDeleteLove the 16 patch blocks. And really love Lola! She looks like she's in a classic ragdoll position. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteYour patch blocks are so sweet! Sometimes it is just fun to putter around and not get in to a big project!
ReplyDeleteThat new quilt will be gorgeous. By the way, i have an strange question, what do you use to keep your blocks on the design wall, tape, pins, magic?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Ooh, I love all these projects, looking forward to seeing what they all become!
