| Tomato Soup & Crackers |
It seems that I
may be on a food theme for naming quilts this year. I've used the
tomato colored fabric again, this time for a 45" square lap quilt.
I finished this one back
in February, using 4” blocks set on point. The neutral tan and
beige fabrics were mostly scraps from other projects, with a few new
solids tossed in. The back is one red/beige block surrounded by cream strips. Machine quilting is free motion twists. This one is currently displayed on the wall in our
living room.
Tomato soup sounds
good for this week, since it may be chilly. It's comfort food that I
remember from childhood. I think we just had red bud winter with
dogwood winter not far behind. In Tennessee, these mini-winters
usually start in late March or early April, and only last a couple of days. I believe they're
coming earlier this year.
