Is there a better time to play in the sewing room than during a Winter Storm? We only received about 5 inches of light, fluffy snow - but that wind!! Snow was blowing around like a snow-globe.
Bonnie Hunter's final reveal for "Frolic!" came out the very same day. What perfect timing! I was able to complete my first block - and I love it! (Yes, I know... too many exclamation points.) My Frolic quilt will not be as scrappy as Bonnie's, but I wanted to use up some yardage in my stash that has been there a good long while. My white/neutrals are four different fabrics, and my border HST's will be scrappy blues - but all the blocks will be the same as this one.
I'm especially glad to find the perfect project for this turquoise floral print that I inherited from my dear High School friend. She moved, and passed along some cotton prints from her garment sewing days. The red in this photo - taken indoors at night - is more rose than it appears here and matches the roses in the navy print. Speaking of which, that navy is a Cranston VIP print - you know - the kind with the really narrow white selvage strip. Ha ha, how old is that??? '80's maybe?
Looks great! Way to use up stash!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you chose for your Frolic quilt--hope you can get all your blocks together soon to show how it all comes together!
