With some Christmas money, I decided to buy one of the Cheryl Ann’s<\/a> Portable Design Walls. Terri<\/a> had one at the CQFA retreat last year<\/a>. She let me use it and I found it to be very useful. Despite our financial woes, I decided to buy one. It will come in very useful when I work on the FOTY 2008 quilt, which is my project for the retreat.<\/div>\n
I looked around the web a bit to see if I could get a better price than Cheryl Ann was offering and ended up buying it at the Quilted Banty<\/a>.They were fast!<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys were gone over the weekend, so I set about trying it out. I wanted to make sure all the parts were there and I would be able to set it up. Above is a picture of the behemoth on the floor of my workroom.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is the thing set up with some of the FOTY<\/a> patches placed on it. I have to say that it is a bit wobbly. By that I mean that if you walk by, it waves a bit in the breeze you make. I may buy two extra legs to kind of stabilize it.<\/p>\n

Once I put up the most recently cut patches, I had a sinking feeling that the FOTY 2008 quilt will be quite large. A lesson? Perhaps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI am determined to get the piece sewn together this weekend. That may be more challenging than I originally thought, mostly due to the Blue<\/a>. I really like all those blues together. You can see, in the photo above, that I have placed them together. In a kind of test, I also placed the greens and white background fabrics together (above). I like the look. This means that I my have to unsew all the patches I have already sewn together. Before I lose my mind, I am going to post them all up on the design wall to see what they all look like. I also have to remember that I cut second blue patches and have been doing so as I dig into other blues, so I don’t need to keep those blues together to get the same look.<\/p>\n

I had planned a Rail Fence type setting, but may sew them together up and down as shown above. We’ll have to see. Your opinions are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
