This was yesterday, spent stitching lots of lines in the pale green background, along with outlining the fans. Once again, a quilt top that is at least 14 years old. I made three of them in different colors back then.
Here’s what kept me busy on Sunday:
Basting, basting and more basting.
This was Monday’s project:
Yep, you guessed it. Another blast from the past. This was my “learning how to paper piece” project, featuring center blocks of fussy-cut toile cherubs.
What was I thinking???
But it was Finish #7. Out of 10. I’ll take it.
And if you’re wondering how I keep my energy up…
Not just a sewing machine, but also a candy dish.
What in the heck are “center blocks of fussy-cut toile cherubs”. You are going to have to dumb down your posts for me.
I love you, Tom. Center blocks are the middle of each square. Fussy cut is the term for cutting out a special flower or figure for the quilt and toile is a French-style fabric with scenery (or cherubs!) as the pattern. This pink quilt is bizarre and I don’t know what possessed me to use cherubs centered in every block. Did you ever make the cinnamon roll recipe?
Amazing…I always knew you were creative, but turning a sewing machine into a candy dish??!! Let’s try turning water into wine!!!!! 🙂
Come on over and we’ll try. 🙂
