Baby Steps

 

The Crazy Quilt sandwhich has been unceremoniously dumped in the sewing room because.....




...the big table in the dining area is still occupied. There's no way I can quilt that big thing in my teeny tiny sewing room. I thought for sure The Mister would have this puzzle done by the time I got home from my babysitting gig but nope. It's a hard one. We've both been working on it and getting nowhere.




That might have been a good thing after all as I am still unsure how to go about quilting it. When I made the blocks I had one leftover. I'm not sure how that happened but it did and that turned out to be a good thing because....





....I can take my pile of leftover fabric and that orphaned block and make two placemats, some mug rugs and a couple of hot pads out of them so I can experiment with thread color and quilting patterns before I tackle the big quilt itself. With dreary March on the way, some Kaffe Fassett in my kitchen sounds like a really good idea.

  1. Great fabric. I'm sorry that you can't quilt it right away but as you said, now you can practice, practice, practice.
    Blessings,

  2. Such vibrant colors! Only Kaffe Fassett could come up with those combinations.

  3. A good meander pattern will get the job done! How pretty some colorful hot pads will work in the kitchen this time of year!

  5. That's a good way to decide how you want to tackle the quilt!
