Working on a quilt...


I decided I better get going on the quilts again..they call my name every time I go near them. I sat down and started piecing and remembered how much I like this! I get so involved in all the trading and swaps on my groups that it gets nuts and I forget how fun and relaxing just sewing can be. Right now I am working on a queen size top that I am going to make king size by the time it is done....the big center block is applique and I got most of it done tonight. I have all the other 11 blocks done so it is just putting it all together. I think I am going to use it in my main bedroom. I want to add some rich colors to that room...it seems really white right now and I am a color freak. I still haven't painted the other bedroom but I did decide on a pale yellow....I will end up doing the painting like I do everything else.....like my butts on fire and it has to be done now...Luckily my cat and dog know to stay out of the way when I get going! I am posting a picture of the quilt I am working on in progress... you can see a couple of blocks and the center applique....Melinda

Love the colours in this. I'm finding I am really enjoying stitching on patchwork projects now too, so I'm cutting back on swaps and stuff to give myself breathing space. Enjoy :)
