Design Wall Monday – Chevron quilt

Design Wall Monday – Chevron quilt

 

This is my design for In The Bag ~ Ugly Fabric Quilt Challenge.

I’ve had it on the wall for most of the week and I still like it!  It reminds me of a picnic tablecloth.  I hope I can find the right fabric for the backing in my stash, too.

Thanks for all your earlier comments when I was deciding!  I appreciate them.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July to all of you Americans celebrating a day off in the middle of the week!

Ugly Fabric Challenge – Design Wall Monday

Ugly Fabric Challenge – Design Wall Monday

Design 1

 

I started sewing my Ugly Challenge Quilt fabric this weekend!  With no real plan in mind, I made all the HST units and then combined 4 of them into these chevron units.  Here’s a few of the layouts that I was playing with.  A design wall is so fun!

Let me know what you think, I’d love some feedback or additional ideas!!  Thanks!

Meandering Feathers Rock!

Posted on by
Meandering Feathers Rock!

 

Marilyn’s quilt was perfect for freehand feather meandering.  She wanted something more than a basic meandering but not as much as custom.  It’s hard to see in this picture but we selected a soft green thread to accent the yellow fabric.

The detail shows how the feathers wander around the quilt, I love it!

I’ve been crazy busy lately, quilting quilts and having family fun!

Tomorrow, I’ll be going to a 3 day retreat  to sew all day and maybe all night!  Rainbows and Calico Things Quilt shop has a new retreat room and we’re excited to be the first group to initiate it!  I’ll be working on my UGLY fabric challenge so look for pictures to follow.  If you want to follow my retreat adventures, head over to my Facebook page, I’ll be posting pictures of our adventures!

Have a great weekend, I know I will!!!

🙂 Linda
