I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date! Is that what the rabbit said in "Alice in Wonderland"? Well what I am saying is I really try to post by 9 a.m. each day and today I didn't have any pictures ready. I had to take my mother to a town an hour away for her eye check up yesterday and then had computer club last night. That meant I had to do the photography this morning.
Here is another from that famous "Needs to be Finished" box. I really want to finish this one as a lap quilt for myself. It is a Strips that Sizzle quilt and I added in black and white to this one. It is 54" x 76".
Some of the blocks were made from 2 blue strip sets layered together, some from blue and black/white sets, some from green and black/white, and some from blue and green. At first I thought it was really an unsuccessful attempt but later I learned to really like it. The zig zag bands are so much more predominate in real life than in the picture above.
Here are some close up photos of the fabrics and the blocks. Some of you must think I have a problem that I have to keep showing the close up pictures of the fabrics. I had been in the fabric business 30 years when I retired and I really love seeing close up pictures of fabrics to see if I recognize them from the past. I really like it when I can click and enlarge pictures on other peoples' blogs to see the fabrics closer. These fabrics are from 15 years ago, so don't look for any of these in a shop today.
My Internet friend Elaine is just starting a Strips that Sizzle quilt. You'll have to check out her blog.
