Hey everyone! Does anyone read this blog? If you do, feel free to email me at wendy.nugent@thekansan.com. I’d love to hear if anyone reads this. Sometimes, I feel like I’m throwing a note in a bottle and casting it off into the sea and don’t hear a whole lot back about it.
So, here’s a few of my sampler blocks with the repeater blocks thrown in for The Romance Continues quilt. We have to make 13 of the blocks (like the ones here that have the apple green and rust fabrics), and I’ve made three. I also have two more cut out.
I’m on my way!
I’m taking a class at the local quilt shop again, and this is the quilt we’re doing. We all do the same pattern but pick our own fabrics. I really enjoy picking the fabrics myself. It’s the part of the creative process I enjoy the most.
I really do love the Arnold’s Attic line of fabrics I’m using for this quilt with a bunch of scrappiness thrown in for the backgrounds — except for the sashing, which is all one fabric. I really like that fabric.
So this is the beginning of the quilt. There will be many more blocks.
I was going to do the little square fabrics that form the cross-hatch pattern in a dark green, but those just didn’t pack the punch that the browns do. So, I changed my plans to using brown. Maybe I can use the dark green to make a pillowcase or two to go with the quilt.
Until next time, happy quilting!
