But even in my sleep-deprived coma-like state, I managed to get some quilting in, and I didn't even cut myself with my rotary cutter. Bravo for me!
This week:
- I pulled fabric, cut and sewed Half Square Triangles for my do-over March block and my April block for the In Color Order HST QAL. If I was being completely honest, I would have to 'fess up to the fact that I cannot seem to find a color scheme idea that I absolutely love. I've tossed around several ideas, and all I can concretely say is that I want it to prominently feature the color gray and not be too girly-girl. I initially wanted it to feature pops of yellow, but I can't seem to find yellow fabrics that I both like and that seem to work with my gray fabrics. I'm struggling with this, and maybe I'll keep it at just gray and white. I'll finish the blocks in the next day or so.
- I've decided (maybe) on a quilting strategy for the pinwheel quilt, though I saw something today.... There are too many options. I'm hoping to start the actual quilting this next week.
- I'm starting work on a new project tonight, but I'm not saying anything else about it! (Shhhh! It's a secret!) But look! I was nice and gave you a sneak peek. (Yes, more HSTs.)
This is my first time linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. (Hooray!)
Your Log Cabin quilt is so beautiful, with all those glowing colors. Congrats on having a new baby--what a tired, but memorable, time of life.

Thanks, Elizabeth! I love the colors in this quilt! (It's my first for me.)
DeleteI am VERY tired, but very happy. Both of my boys are incredible.
I love your Log Cabin!!! It is a favorite of mine anyway; but your color combo is fantastic!! It just jumps off the page....very nice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new little one....they certainly are treasures...even during those dreaded feedings...lol
Thank you! The feedings are dreaded, but I'm trying to be thankful that he eats less often than my oldest, haha! :)
DeleteYour log cabin looks great! I really love your colors for your new project too! Congrats on your new baby, thank goodness those feedings (and exhaustion) don't last forever!
ReplyDeleteI always find I'm more excited for my new projects...but isn't that how it always works?
DeleteAnd thank goodness the exhaustion has an end date! :)
Look at you, rocking the HST's! I love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteLoving the gray fabric you picked out, too. Tres cool. :)
I do my best to rock those HSTs out of the park! Hopefully I'll have awesomeness to show you in person soon. :)

ReplyDeleteHa ha!
I think monochrome is wonderfully modern and sleek.
I KNEW you would approve!
