Judy Laquidara's monochromatic color challenge for the month of July was Blue. i decided to use her pattern called Peaches and Cream.....only mine will be blueberries and cream. LOL
This is a fast, easy pattern. i love it.
I used mostly my hand dyed fabrics.
It used up quite a bit of fabric.
The piece i used on the back had fish and octopus on it.....a cute under the sea scene. i put a piece of pale blue down the middle to make it wide enough and used up almost all of the fish fabric, too.
A quick scribble meander over it and it was done in a few hours.
Glad i got that one finished on time....now i will go load the other challenge quilt for the month and get it quilted.
Are you having fun with Judy? i hope so
Last night i glued some applique blocks together for the Dear Jane quilt....and this morning i machine appliqued them down. i did three...
B2
B3
and, C11
I am trying not to put the same color side by side....but am not doing too good at it. in the first row i have 3 or 4 browns next to each other. and now i have done B2 and B3 both in browns. sheesh!! that is one reason i decided to start doing them in order....so each block would be a different color.....it doesn't seem to be working out yet. i better pay more attention.
This is what i am working on now.....a beautiful blue and white quilt from my friend, Laurie..
She always does a great job....
I'll show you the whole thing when i am finished with it....i just started yesterday. it is a pattern that my friend, Marilea, designed. it is called For My Sister, Jewel, Who Loves to Dance. all the different blocks have names of different dances.
This morning i went out while it was still cool.....about 6am.....and finished trimming up the trees so we can get the riding mower under them without getting whacked by a branch. every year i go around and whack off the lower branches. .... but they all just grow back. why doesn't the tree just grow taller and quit putting out those lower branches? we have a hissy fit every year .... me and those trees..... but i am determined to win. LOL
I still have more yardwork to do....perhaps tomorrow morning. it took 2 hours to tame the trees today. maybe i'll tackle some flower bed weeds tomorrow.
But right now.......back to Jewel.
