I've been busy making "T" blocks lately, at my guild retreat last month and at home. All green and blue fabrics were approved by my 8-year-old ds since this quilt is for his bed (and his name starts with "T"!). He did the arranging, and now I'm busy sewing the blocks together. We still need to discuss the border. I'd like more of the red, but he's thinking of adding a new color.
This little wall hanging was inspired by the reverse applique in the book Reverse applique with no Brakez by Jan Mullen. My fish are created with bits of hand-painted fabrics my dd and I made at a workshop years ago. None of our painted fabric pieces were all that great, but cut up into bits, it's a great way to remember a fun time together. I'm doing some hand quilting as I find time.
I finished up 2 tops for American Hero Quilts. Cleaned out most of my rwb strings with the wonky log cabins, and incorporated swap blocks in the star top.
Puttering along with swap blocks, and getting ready to make a kids art quilt for my dd's teacher and a signature quilt for the retiring school librarian. Should be a busy month!
