So what have I been up to since my last report? A lot!
New Projects:
Scrappy Trip Along: I took a sip of the Scrappy Trip Along Kool-Aid last week and I'm hooked. Did another 'test block' to see if this is what I'll ask my bee mates to make for the Simply Solids Carmine group (so my colour!). I suspect that I may 'test' this block some more. ;)

Commissioned Wee Spy: Started and completed. Will share photos once the quilt arrives in sunny Burbank, California.
Current Projects:
Su{Brrr}nova: Top complete and I love, love, love it! More details here.
Seeing the Forest for the Trees Quilt: It's back on the design wall this week and I can't thank you all enough for your feedback yesterday. I tried out Debbie's idea of flipping the trees so the 2nd and 4th rows are reflections of the 1st and 3rd. I also played around some more with the layouts and tried having the trees all upright. I think I've settled on the layout now, but I'll leave that as a surprise for Friday. :)

Hoping that you are having a wonderful Wednesday!
Do you know I actually happen to have strips already sewn together in twosy sets, it wouldn't take much for me to drink a little kool aid with ya! Your test blocks have actually tempted me (the others make me say, oh isn't that nice). Well thanks for sharing, I guess we all better get our scrappy-selves in line!

Love your scrappy trip blocks!
ReplyDeleteWow! You sure are productive and with children! :). I really like those trees and the mirror imaging effect! Good luck on your presentation! I would love to hear it!
ReplyDeleteI like the gray trip best. Your trees quilt really speaks to me I love it.
ReplyDeleteI see you are in the simply solids bee too! I still have to think of a block, but this trippy thing is a great idea! I am not a huge fan of it, but if it was all solids... maybe! Your Super(brr)nova is awesome too! Is there a pattern or block for that?
ReplyDeleteAwesome projects!
