I have made some progress on my last December deadline project! Its a Christmas gift so I only have until the 24th to get it finished!
Good thing I got the top done!
I also pieced the backing today.... even taking care to match up the print! I never do that! I basted it this afternoon and am going to get some quilting started tonight!
Since I have recently finished up so many projects I've been thinking of new ideas for the New Year! I've cleaning up so many WIPS I'm good to go on ALL NEW STUFF!
I took advantage of the Fat Quarter Shop's charm pack sale last week!
My quilt friend Kristen and I also made a trip the The Bakery Fabrics in Belle Fouche last weekend.
I took a few color ideas from design seeds..... this one had me pulling these fabrics.
This one inspired me to pick these... although the dark print doesn't look orange-red as it is in real life.
I have a couple pattern ideas clinking around in my noggin for these.
I also have my grays I'm planning to use finally! A Christmas quilt using this free pattern.
Hopefully these will find their way into a cabin quilt. I have a little more collecting to do for this project.
Its exciting to start NEW things.... if I can just get the barn raising done before the 24th!
New fabric is so fun. I especially love that red and orange combo.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered some new fabric too...the rocket boys prints in the Children at Play line since our family is really into science. I've been wanting it for a while and realized shops are starting to sell out of it.
If you're looking for another project, I've got an I Spy Swap going on on my blog. You can go here if you're interested. http://helpinglittlehands.blogspot.com/2012/12/i-spy-swap-sign-up-now.html
