Many of the fabrics in this group are from the back of the Flowering Snowball. I am also diligently pressing and cutting pieces from fabrics that have been washed. The chair on which I hang just washed fabric is no … Continue reading
Such pretty fabrics! So cutting for the Fabric of the Year 2012 quilt continues. As I have said, I am really enjoying cutting up patches for this quilt. As you can see, I seem to be doing a lot of … Continue reading
This gallery contains 3 photos.
This week’s patches are from the batches I have washed recently. I have been trying to press a few yards as a warm up for my quiltmaking sessions. Trying to do that means that I am making progress on the … Continue reading
I have to admit that I am enjoying just cutting squares and rectangles for FOTY 2012 so far this year. I am so glad to be using simple shapes and the squares and rectangles are making me feel much more … Continue reading
I haven’t done anything with Fabric of the Year 2012 yet. I decided that I would go even more simple than last year, but would keep one of the elements of FOTY 2011. I decided that I would go with … Continue reading
The Fabric of the Year 2011 top, back and binding are finished and ready to be sent to the quilter. As you may know from my previous post, I ripped out the first inner border (which meant ripping out all … Continue reading
I was going to say “HOORAY!!! I finished the FOTY 2011 top!”, jump up and down and encourage us all to dance together. But. No dice. I starting ripping out the border on Monday, because it screamed at me. The … Continue reading

I am making an effort to cut and press fabric so I am ready for sewing the FOTY 2011 quilt. I have started to arrange the squares by color so they look good in the photo. Vanity, I think.

Mid September already! The CQFA Retreat has been set, so now I have a working deadline. I am pretty good in the fabric washing department. The cutting of triangles for fabrics I have used this year (already in my fabric … Continue reading
Despite my misgivings, I am plowing ahead with my plan to cut triangles until such time as I have a new plan. Mom and Lil Sissy were over when I took this picture. Lil Sissy almost had a heart attack … Continue reading
Bad news. I don’t think I like this triangle shape. What I really want to do is kind of row quilt like the Fons & Porter Kalamkari Strippy. I like the space between the rows, though you can’t see it … Continue reading
