This weekend has
been a good time for work on a variety of quilt projects plus a little
gardening time. I was cleaning the
house to get ready to host Monday night’s Quilt Mavens group and spent a couple
of hours organizing my stash. I was
looking for a piece of green recently and could not find my tub of green
fabric. I finally did and I took that
as a hint that I needed to reorganize some fabric. I found out that I have a lot more brown and cream than I thought
I did.
I finished step 7
of the Day Bee Mystery Quilt. We had
the option of using a solid piece of fabric for the center of each star, but
our leader encouraged us to piece something.
Originally I pieced some small nine patches and some four patches. When I started the step to sew the stars
together, I did not like the look with the nine patches and I used only four
patches. I almost wish I had used a
solid piece of fabric. The stars would
look very differently.
My church quilt group will be giving a
short talk for the XYZ ( eXtra Years of Zest) Club about our work and show
quilts. It was Joan’s idea for us to
have a mug rug in the center of each table; and after our talk have a drawing
to give them away, so this afternoon I made another mug rug from Woodpile quilt
crumbs.
