It has been just pouring rain these last few days. The sun is out now so I hope I am not tempting fate with the open umbrella! I have baskets on the table, a Noah's Ark quilt and some bunny fabric ideas. oops, I forgot about the Rooster's mending! :( I've no time for anything other than a flood of ideas!
This was the general idea for the basket quilt. I will put the applique posies at the top.
The wall hanging should actually be a bit wider but I could trim the sides down if necessary. The background of these baskets is a white on white print, a tone on tone. I like them but this has been in the stash a long time and I remember why; the print is painted on and a real pain to applique! :{
But the narrower sashing is much better as it is less busy and doesn't overpower the baskets. And I want to see those darn painted flowers in the TOT fabric background. ;) I really kinda want to leave my focus fabric of polka dots in the quilt. :}
I got a huge selection of bias tape at a thrift sale and was thinking of a vine with circles. But I had an aha! What if I did flower stems?
Looking through my paper circles for a size I found this checkerboard circle. Cute. I'm sure I have some checkerboard fabric. :)
These baskets are proving to be a very time consuming quilt! My ark needs floating.
And my bunnies are wanting to get hopping! Cutting the most bunnies that I can may mean doing these blocks on point. :O
My camera sure doesn't like focusing on dots! But I do think I have a plan for finishing!
I need to stop the flood that is washing away my time! vbsigh But I do wonder what kinds of floods (ideas, projects, fabrics, finished projects, mosquitoes, etc.) the gals on
TN&TN are experiencing
We could use some of that rain, elle. Apparently Southern Alberta doesn't want to send any north...but at least we aren't under a flood watch! Maybe you can lose the mending under a wave of fabric... ;-)
ReplyDeletethose baskets are so cute Elle...really going to be nice
ReplyDeleteCertainly lots going on in your studio this week! Hope the rain stops soon - though we could use some in NS. Our forest fire indexes are super high and it's only early June!
ReplyDeleteYou've had a productive week. I love the look of the thinner sashing strips and your flower idea is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI think the rain was good for you and your garden. We finally got some much needed rain in NS. Yes I actually wrote "much needed rain".
