CQFA Retreat: My Work
As usual, I started my Fabric of the Year 2011. I made good progress, but I did not finish. Before I left for the Retreat, I spent time organizing the patches into color families and then from light to dark. … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 – Mid December
I am trying different arrangements of triangles for show. The previous arrangements have left so much design wall space in the photos. It took me awhile to cut enough triangles for this photo as I concentrated on the Stepping Stones … Continue reading
Late November FOTY Triangles
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.
FOTY 2011 Mid-November
I can’t believe I haven’t posted triangles since mid September! But it’s true. I haven’t posted triangles since mid-September. I guess if I had actually pressed fabric in the past 2 months, then I wouldn’t be so behind. It turns … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 Triangles – Mid September
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
FOTY Triangles Beg. September 2011
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
FOTY Triangles – Late August 2011
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
FOTY Triangles Mid August 2011
I continue to cut triangles for the Fabric of the Year 2011 quilt. I have many fabrics that need to be pressed, so it is a continuing process. My sewing machine is back, temporarily, so my pressing has slowed down … Continue reading

I am making progress on the pressing and cutting and you can see the quilt that is next in line from the fabrics I have cut. The design wall is getting to be too small these days iwth so many … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 Triangles – End of July 2011
The triangle collection is growing, but not fast enough. The halfway mark for the year is long past and I have piles of fabric to wash and cut. Sigh. I pressed a bunch while I was on the phone over … Continue reading

FOTY 2010 Again
I promised, in the completed project post, to post the professional photo of FOTY 2010 once I got it back. Here it is. I am really please with the way the photo came out. You can really see the quilting … Continue reading
FOTY Triangles
I have been making a big effort to press the fabric that I have washed recently. First it is really uncomfortable to sit and sew with a big pile of fabric poking me in the back. Also, I felt so … Continue reading
Finished: FOTY 2010
Yes, Fabric of the Year 2010 is finished. I took it to the photographer today so that it can be professionally photographed before it goes to the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles Show. This is not a great … Continue reading
FOTY 2011 -Small Triangles
I liked the way this group of colors looked together. Even though I didn’t have enough to really make a large picture, I thought this was worth showing. It makes me think about how I want to arrange the triangles.
