I took the fabrics Friend Julie gave me to Portland. I had an idea for a quilt top and thought I could get it done while I was there.
The yardage was skinny quarter yards and I was able to get three strips out of each piece. That made the quilt around 60 inches long, I think.
Success! The top is done. I just have to make the back and binding before it is ready for quilting.
It was a little bit of a challenge to work without a design wall. First, I used the couch (see above), but since we couldn’t use the dining table to eat, we needed the couch and coffee table for meals. I moved the strips, once they were cut to the mantle, which worked pretty well. I had to figure out how to keep them from falling off. Books were the answer. It is so interesting to see what books people leave in a shared space.
Good Morning, Jaye,
You are so inspiriting. I love the colors. Fun when friends share their unused fabric.
You make so many beautiful things.
Enjoy making the back…happy to see what you can/will do.
