I felt a bit of freedom in my sewing today. I finished the Blue Janus back yesterday (have to write about that, yes) and didn’t have anything pressing to work on. That left me to see how I felt and work on what I felt like.<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/a>
Frosted Star Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I sewed two more test blocks for the Frosted Star pattern. My pattern is much easier to follow and trimming the segments before sewing the block together works really well. I used a mostly monochromatic color scheme for these latest blocks so I can also donate them to the Rainbow project. I couldn’t resist using a bit of one of my Philip Jacob prints.<\/p>\n

I think I need to test the 9″ pattern rather than the 12″, because the 12″ is just too big and the 9″ is what I would use in the quilt. I am thinking that I won’t make this quilt even though I like it a lot.<\/p>\n

\"Merry<\/a>
Merry & Bright Wrap Back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I felt compelled to make a back, so now the back for It’s a Merry & Bright Wrap<\/em> is finished. This back was less arduous than the one for the Blue Janus quilt. Quite simply, it was much smaller. I also made a big effort to use very large pieces of fabric. Rather than days, it was only a few hours in progress. I am happy that it is done, though I don’t have plans to quilt it yet. I’ll have to see about that.<\/p>\n

Making the above back gets me farther along in the various finishing tasks I have to do. I still need to make the sleeves for FOTY 2009<\/a> and the Chocolate Box as well as the facing for the Chocolate Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Half<\/a>

\"Kaffe<\/a>
Kaffe Fassett Dot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t know what is next on the list, but am thinking a tote bag is in order. I have this new black and white fabric that is demanding my attention. Half Moon by Moda will be the bag body with possibly a pink inside.<\/p>\n

The Kaffe Fassett dot attracted my attention for handles (I think I may be in a monochromatic phase right now). GAQF only had a fat quarter, but I found a half yard in my fabric closet, which will be enough for the handles. I like the combination of big and small dots.<\/p>\n

I am thinking I will use the AMH Multi-tasker tote pattern again even though it isn’t exactly the bag I want. I’ll peruse my other bag patterns first.\u00a0 I do know how to make the AMH MTT and it is a pretty good bag pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
