When i was at class last week, Mary asked me how my neutral crazy quilt was coming along. oops!! i had to admit it was sitting in a box. so, when i got home i guiltily took it out of the box..... and realized i had not worked on it since christmas. sigh!! too many projects.
So i made it a priority for the last few days and got another round on it...just for you, Mary.
It is now 48" square. in the whole scheme of things....that's about 1/4 of the total quilt finished. not bad if i think of it that way.
But, i need 28 more blocks to add another row around it. that sounds like a lot. since i only needed 20 blocks to add this round.
I am loving all the lacy bits that i am finding online. all these things are being added by machine. the only hand sewing was the center heart and the blocks directly around it.
I have discovered a new (to me) crazy quilt magazine and have been visiting all of the vendors advertised. (and buying)
The ecru colored lace in the left pic above this sentence has cool lace. in person it looks like paper...but is lace. i like it a lot
And i have found a lot of lace designs like this one, too.
This is a little crocheted flower. it makes me wonder how those folks can take the time to crochet these and then sell them for about a dollar each. but i'm glad they do. that rust colored fabric in the pic is painted batting by the way.
Another crocheted flower. i am making etsy shop owners happy with my purchases. LOL
Hopefully this project won't lay in the box another 2 months before i get to it again. it would be nice to get it finished this year also. but i was wondering if i can do something with the design rather than just the 8" square blocks. wheels are turning in the brain.
Stay tuned
Later
