Work in Progress


I'm making a quilt.

My second one ever. My first was over a decade ago, back before we had blogs. Or digital cameras. And I walked to school, uphill both ways too.

I completely stunk and did not take any photos of the in-progress quilt.

BUT, I can show you a peek of the fabrics being used!


I won these Kumari Garden Holiday fat quarters from Julie at The Intrepid Thread. You should go check out her blog. She has giveaways frequently, you could be the next winner!

So I experimented with a stash and slash method of cutting/piecing. The quilt is ready for binding and then I can finish and show you pics!

PS--If you are horribly jealous and insist on also being the owner of some Kumari fabrics, Julie has a set for sale in her etsy shop here.

PPS--I promise to take step-by-step pictures next time. Even when my baby crawls around on the quilt top while I'm trying to baste....

    That's such a lovely color collection. I'm sure it's beautiful. I've never tried stack and slash myself. Hope you enjoyed it.
