Bright white and
cheerful print fabrics make up today's quilt. Carnival Dash
is 53” square, perfect for snuggling or a summer picnic. I used
pieces from last year's yard sale finds with some favorites from my
collection, all cut with my Accuquilt churn dash die. Colors were
chosen to coordinate with carnival stripes used in the mitered
border and for the backing.
The gray plus sign
print sashing frames the blocks, making them stand out beautifully.
Scalloped quilting was stitched 2” apart with creamy white thread.
I never get tired of
designing and sewing quilts. I do have to take time out for basic
housework, cooking, laundry, and yard maintenance. You know, those
chores that we all have to take care of. But I work on them in
between quilting projects. Who's going to notice a little dust or a
few weeds? Important things first!
I
feel like I should clean the house,
so
I'm going to my sewing room
to
play
until
the feeling passes
