I showed this book last week and said I wanted to make the cover quilt. In the last 2 days I have spent hours e-chatting with a cable provider tech and then having the installation tech at my house. It meant no sewing because I had to do a lot of cleaning around my TVs before the guy arrived. It's a good thing I'm not allergic to dust because I found some...a lot in fact.
To calm me down I chose some fabrics for the quilt. Kathy used Marcia Derse fabrics and Kaffe stripes in addition to large prints. I could only find 9 large prints in my huge stash that I thought really might work together. There are 12 big prints in the one in the book. I have NO IDEA if these will work. It is an experiment for sure. My 2 friends are coming over to sew today so I will do some cutting and hopefully sew at least one block. I want to work on my Farm Girl Vintage quilt blocks too.
I have set the dates for a colorwash class at my house in Sandwich IL - Wed. and Thurs. Oct. 19 & 20. If you are interested in it email me at exuberantcolor2 (AT) gmail (DOT) com and I will send you details. It can be a one day or two day class for you. If you choose one day the size of the piece you are making will be restricted to no larger than 36" square.
