So remember how I was telling you guys I got distracted from my Complications Quilt by my Swoon Quilt. I mean really what's not to love about both of these quilts. I mean I don't think Bonnie and Camille could make better fabrics if they tried and they all play so nicely together.
Well here is my progress on the Complications Quilt. You might notice a little bit of Ruby from my Swoon quilt already managed to slip itself in there. One of the biggest challenges for me with this quilt is making sure I am getting color and fabrics dispersed evenly throughout the quilt. Of course now that I realized I also want to mix Ruby into the fray it gets even more complicated (no pun intended). I just can't help but LOVE this quilt. This is the first part of the puzzle and it is now as wide as the quilt will be without the boarders. It's pretty impressive to me because it's currently 5 feet wide. I really am flying by the seat of my pants with this one so I had no idea how big it would end up being Of course with another 12 inches in outside boarders it's going to end up being a pretty wide quilt. I would say this section which measures about 2 feet makes up about 1/4 of the total quilt.
In other news I did make an additional Swoon block just so I could add the scraps into my selections for the Complications Quilt. Somehow I feel like these two quilts are going to continue to evolve together. So I have 3 blocks down and 6 more to go on this one.
My mom also picked up my Posh Enigma Quilt from the long arm so hopefully I will have a finish to show you soon. I'm not meeting up with my mom until Saturday so it will be at least next week but I do have my binding fabrics all ready to go. It's hard to believe that I pieced that top way back in
November of 2009. It's not at all my aesthetic anymore so I'm really not even sure what I am going to do with the finished quilt but it is nice to have my "first" quilt out of the closet and
thisclo
se to the finished list.
Be sure to head over to
Lee's to see what everyone else is up to.
