\"Design<\/a>
Design Wall 8\/15\/2010<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have mentioned several times recently making incremental progress on a variety of projects, but not any major progress on one project. I decided I would show you some of the projects.<\/p>\n

I have to say that the FOTY progress I made on Monday really helped me feel better about my progress.<\/p>\n

Above is my design wall over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/a>
Frosted Stars - Cut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First up are the pieces for the Frosted Stars. Keep in mind where the fabrics are is not necessarily where they will stay in the finished pieces. As I cut them, I slapped them up. A lot of the creams with various motifs were on top. I definitely won’t put them all in one block next to each other.<\/p>\n

I added that turquoise in because I thought it needed some. It really makes the piece pop.<\/p>\n

The blue in the 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain line is more light sky blue. It reminds me a of turquoise, but definitely isn’t. I asked DH what he thought. Being a much quieter person and more fond of earthy colors, he was diplomatic. I could tell he thought it was a little bright. \ud83d\ude09 He suggested a silver.<\/p>\n

\"Frosted<\/a>

I want the quilt to be scrappy, but I do want some continuity within the blocks,, thus I want the four triangles that make up the third piece in the star to be the same fabric. Above I have added some Robert Kaufman Fizz to audition for that spot. The photo was a little dark, so I lightened it up a little bit so you could see it better. Yes, I am copping to digital enhancement.<\/p>\n

Silver is hard to find without delving into the lame’ realm. I like this Fizz line, as\u00a0 you know, and this silver grey looks pretty good with the other fabrics.<\/p>\n

So far, that is my take on the Frosted Stars.<\/p>\n

Next up: Upper lefthand corner<\/p>\n

\"Upper<\/a>
Upper Left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been cutting 2″ squares and making random four patches out of them. Some of them I stick in letters to my friends. If I make enough of them I will eventually have enough for a quilt. Sandy from Quilting for the Rest of Us<\/a> did a podcast on scraps. If you haven’t listened to it, please do so, because it is a good one and this sort of dovetails into it. Bottomline: great way to use scraps.<\/p>\n

\"Zig<\/a>
Zig Zaggy Pieces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I thought I mentioned these pieces in some detail, but I only found a brief reference<\/a>. The long pieces are what I am going to make the Zig Zaggy quilt from. The small pieces have to be replaced with other fabrics and they are on the wall until I do so.<\/p>\n

\"Sorbet<\/a>
Sorbet Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In case I didn’t say, this project is no longer a palette cleanswer. Now it is a UFO. I haven’t completely lost interest. In order to generate some interest, I am thinking of doing a Block-a-Long. The idea would be that I would post patterns for each of the blocks at regular intervals and you would make them. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
