And, I started picking out fabrics for Judy's Stash Busting Mystery quilt!!
Not really a good thing, but that is what I did. So, now I have step 4 of the Double Delight spread around my room in pieces, but I have got these 4 blks done, with more waiting to be sewn together, well, pieces of them anyway!! I only have 26 more to go...... and it's taking me forever, at least it is feeling that way. And why wouldn't it??? Every time I go work on it, something distracts me and I leave..........
Well, todays distraction is - I will show you my fabrics that I have picked out for the mystery ..... I just looked for lights and darks, with no real plan, just wanted them to be light or dark. Then, I found myself choosing bug prints or flowers, butterflies, so that is my lights with other ones that will go with them.
The darks are blues, greens, a couple purples and some blacks, one dark red. I am thinking that it might be a nice combination....... I have trouble with getting things to match, and find that is probably why I like scrappy. So, this is the start of Judy's mystery. I will work a bit more on the blks above, and then I might do some cutting..... I was thinking of working on this quilt - the mystery - this weekend, but Judy has said she is emailing the next step for those who have shown that they are working on it!!! Well, I had better get working on it then!!!! And that is probably why I was so distracted today, I want the next step!!!
So, not that you can really tell what the fabrics are, but they are definitly light & dark!
And it's sitting on my ironing board, so I have to do something with them. Might as well cut 'em up and sew 'em together....... Another, 'hey I gotta try this'!! I am weak. But, I do have fun!!
Ha! You go for it! Better you than me I say!!! I am still digging out from under my UFOs! lol! 8-)
ReplyDeleteYour DD blocks look great!
Happy ironing, cutting, and stitchings!
Yay, looking good....
ReplyDeleteI have to spread my cutting over a period of time to save boredom and my hands. I need my own personal cutting person. A better cutting table would help.
I find it difficult to make so many of the same blocks.
The DD blocks are turning out very good!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't very motivated last week, but when Judy started the new project I just had to go for it. They are very easy blocks to make and sort of addictive. I can't wait to see everyone's finished quilts.
