A new
year and a new decade has arrived! Like most folks, I like to do a
reset in January. Wrap up year end items. Clear out clutter.
Consider what's next, what makes me happy. For me, a fresh start is
energizing.
Today's
quilt, On Every Corner, is one I finished just before Christmas.
Green, cream, navy, and rust prints were cut into strips and squares and
arranged in a diagonal pattern. I worked up the design in EQ8
software before cutting with AccuQuilt.
Fabric
for the backing and binding is a grayish tan cobblestone print. I
quilted with tan thread, using a straight stitch along the seams,
keeping the diagonal lines toward the center. These calming colors
would be right at home in a mountain cabin, don't you think?
What's
next for me isn't difficult to figure out...I already have a huge
list of quilts to make. Modern, vintage style, large and small. My sewing room is clean and organized. The
only thing now is to decide which one to cut first.
