When I was in Ottawa in February, I did some shopping at Mad About Patchwork--an online store owned by my friend, Pam. As I was leaving, she gave me two bins full of bolt ends of various colours of Kona Cottons as her donation to charity quilts made by the Elgin Piecemakers. Last night, I sorted all of the pieces into piles by colour and pulled out all of the grays, reds, oranges, yellows and one blue strip. I decided to make a man's chemo quilt.
I cut out some 10" squares of the grays and then some 1.5" strips of the coloured fabrics. I used the slash and insert method to make these blocks.
I have also been working on my liberated squirrel quilt...the top is done...
I will show a picture later. The back is also done. I am in the process of figuring out how to quilt this one. I may even hand quilt this one.... Yikes!
It is still really cold here but the snow is slowly disappearing. These brave daffodils have even made an appearance.
Happy Spring, everyone!
In New Brunswick we are just shoveling out from a blizzard. I know my daffodils are out there somewhere in the yard but with another blizzard on the forecast for the weekend, it might be a while before the push through the snow.
ReplyDeleteI am visiti8ng New Brunswick this week and safely sitting here in the bright sun getting ready to continue working on a disappearing 9-patch my daughter is making for a nephew as a wedding quilt. I cut. she sews. I wonder what my daffodils are doing back home in Hamilton. I planted several hundred last fall.
