Life has been "getting in the way"---but as always, I am making sure I put some time aside to quilt. At the end of the day I am so tired sometimes, I don't have the energy to quilt AND blog, so guess which wins out!!!
Above is the quilt I started to get my "creative juices" going to finish the shirt quilt. I used a special ruler to make these shapes. I have never had such an easy time sewing curves---don't even need pins. The fabric is from my small collection of African fabrics. The grey of the background with the black strips is a good combination I think.
This is the latest BOM from the Brockman site. This is not as much fun as I thought it would be, mainly because if you are making the ticking blocks you get absolutely no help in how to make it. If I wasn't so very stubborn, I would just move on, but I really "think" I could like it. I do think though, I am going to use a ticking in a contrasting color. As it is, I don't think you can see the pattern very well.
Well, I will try hard to be more diligent in posting. Thanks for stopping by!
