wip


I've got a new work in progress.
I am pretty excited about it since it is improvisationally pieced and uses only scraps, my two favorite things when it comes to quilting.

I'll be back on Tuesday with week 5 of the star quilt along.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Ooooooh! I love it! All that crisp white is so refreshing. The colors just pop. Can't wait to see it finished!

I'm finished with my first quilt top and am now moving to the quilting phase. Scary!! But I can't wait to go shopping for more fabric for my next quilt, so that must be a good sign!!

I can't tell how big this gorgeous quilt is--is it full-sized?

I made a mini one like this last summer. It is fun to play with tiny scraps.

I just love how the white frames the bright colors and makes each one pop. You have a wonderful eye for composition.

Jessica said...

This is really cute. I have really developed an appreciation of what you do with white fabric. I have always been scared of white before, but the way you use it, it always makes your quilts come out so crisp looking. I took the plunge and tried it on my latest project and i like it so far, thank you!
