Slowly making progress. I think I need a bigger design wall. Designing this quilt is taking quite a while. Every time I walk into the room, I see squares that aren't quite right and keep moving things around. I have some new holes to fill. I'll have to pull a few fabrics from my stash to fill these. I also need to find some darker pinks to better blend the pinks into the reds. I'm loving it so far. It's going to be well worth the effort.
It's been a day of the sickies around here. Miss C has been sick and droopy all weekend. She even passed up chocolate cake on Sunday and went to lay on the couch instead. Today is looking a bit better, but the kiddos all spent quite a bit of time vegging on the couch watching Dora this morning. I think the ibuprofen I gave her earlier is kicking in. She's off the couch and, she and her sister are currently having a tea party. She keeps calling her sister "young lady" in a wacky voice. She is also calling me "young lady mama" and told me I look lovely today--a wonderful compliment considering I didn't even bother putting on makeup this morning.
The one and only good thing about sick kiddos is having a bit of downtime while they get their couch time. I cut fabric this morning for my Brrr quilt! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes together just how I picture it in my head. I might start sewing it tonight unless I decide sleep is a priority.
That wall of squares would be my downfall - I would never be able to stop rearranging! It's looking great though - can't wait to see it as it progresses :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your little squares. I have a box of 2 1/2" squares. I need a 'design wall as big as yours, I don't think my hubby would take to kindly to me taking one of our bedroom or living room walls to 'design' on. lol
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, I would go mad with all those squares! Actually, my downfall would be transferring them to the sewing machine!! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the little kiddo compliments, those are the best. Hope everyone is feeling better soon
Oooh, loving how those colours are going, this is going to be even more amazing than the pixellated one I think!
ReplyDeleteHope all the sickies feel much better soon
sorry for the sicknesses, hope all gets better soon.

ReplyDeleteI totally want to make one of these too! I will need to make a design wall first, I think. It is going to be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That's going to be so awesome! I am definitely envious of your design wall, as I have none. You may be ready for the next level, though! Thanks for sharing your progress!
ReplyDeleteI so need a design wall - I'll get to us the lounge floor in a minute, when the kids have gone to bed! Hope the young folk are back to maniacal normality soon x
ReplyDeleteholy moly! I can't even imagine moving all those pieces from your design wall into organized piles to eventually sew. Very impressive! Can't wait to see the final product.
