It's been slow sewing around these parts lately. I've had a ton of things going on in my personal life and I've been overly distracted. This week though I did manage to finish up the last two blocks of my Snow Blossoms Quilt.
I laid out all the blocks once I was done. I wasn't sure I was loving this layout but a quick poll on Instagram confirmed that I was on the right track. I also considered doing some cornerstones but I only had enough of one or two of the fabrics to do that and the one I liked was the dark gray in that middle block. But since the corner stones would end up in the four corners of that block I decided to skip them.
I'm really loving the way this quilt is turning out. I've been working with a lot of Bonnie & Camille fabrics lately and so these deep rich colors are very different. Not to say I love Bonnie & Camille fabrics any less. I am so happy now that I went with the tender green for my solid instead of my typical snow. I'm really loving the look that this provides.
Here are the first two rows all sewn together. I need to order some boarder and backing fabric in order to finish this one up. I guess that's really it for me this week. Be sure to head over to Lee's and see what everyone else is up to these days.
Beautiful!!! Love the colors you chose! Can't wait to see it all put together :)

ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! and I too really like your choice of "tender green" for the solid, makes a nice change from anything white/cream/greyish! Linda
