Fun
and color were on my mind when I designed this week's featured quilt.
Using up some of my scraps is a happy bonus. I cut crossed canoe
blocks and 5” squares in shades of aqua, red, blue, yellow, orange,
green and purple with gray contrast.
I
laid out the design in EQ8 software so that I could experiment with
color placement. Daydreams is 45” x 54” in size. Backing is a
white and gray wide print. I quilted with gray thread in a
scallop stitch.
Accuquilt dies used:
Crossed Canoes 55181
5” square 55010
Final
2019 project count is fifty-one. I've enjoyed sewing each and every
one and though I always want to keep them, I have gifted a few.
I'm
looking forward to the new year, even though the temperature here in Tennessee
has been unseasonably warm.
My 2020 quilt to do list is growing quickly, but first I'll take some time this week to organize the sewing room.
As for other resolutions, I say make a few, break a few, but always live the life you choose.
