\"FOTY<\/a>
FOTY 2017 – early June 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was the end of April<\/a> when I last posted an update for FOTY 2017. I am still cutting, but the endless Carpenter’s Wheel and brief detour into designing for FOTY 2016<\/a> are just two of the projects that have distracted me.<\/p>\n

These fabrics reflect a couple of projects. First, the text prints were cut as I was cutting more squares for the Carpenter’s Wheel<\/a>. The light blues are for the En Provence Mystery Quilt, clue 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also started cutting for a new project. This is the reimagined Daisy QAL. Yes, my podcast pal, Daisy, is leading a Quilt-A-Long<\/a>. I wanted to do it, so I bought all of the materials. After looking at the pattern carefully, I decided I didn’t like the alternate block. I looked around to see what I could add that would be interesting, then decided that was stupid. At the same time, I saw the quilt I have been wanting to make at Back Porch Fabrics, Triple Star (n.18\/19) by Kim Brackett<\/a> from Scrap Basket Beauties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I changed direction. I am using the materials from Daisy’s QAL<\/a> to make the Triple Star. I know I have a zillion other projects, but I bought the fabric and am cutting it up in between the Carpenter’s Wheel and En Provence.<\/p>\n

The fabrics on the bottom row in the FOTY picture above are from Alison Glass’ Sun Prints collection. That brown probably has to go. I cut it up, but find that there is a lot of it and I don’t like it enough to put that much in. I won’t have enough fabrics from the layer cake to make the whole quilt, so I am adding in other fabrics as well, including some Philip Jacobs. I need to make it more cheerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
