Summer Snowballs: Using up leftovers is continuing.....
[please ignore this old, stained June Taylor pressing board ;000]
I had cut a whole lot of solid 3.5" squares and small triangles a while
back when I made my first big snowball quilt....
that turned into this,
now waiting for a backing....
I used a square by square controlled color scheme in that one...with just blue and white corners....
****************************
Meanwhile these leftovers are random--
with a predominance of beige and black squares
and both solid and batik triangles...
here are the next four using green centers
ready to be sewn together...
I love making snowballs- most especially because
I can trim them up using scissors....
thus avoiding the dreaded rotary cutter...
just a few solids left,
but..............
A whole lot of batiks...
As usual, I am sewing "without a net" and don't know how this will
end up...but making the parts is so joyous....
I love this randomness; and the way that
things happen and
color combos pop up unexpectedly..
I have a LOT of black and beige solid squares so they will be the
main feature in some way.....
And I figure mostly of the batiks will corner them...
**************************************
Tonight's dinner will be hot dogs on the grill with coleslaw and
french fries...easy meal for a hot, humid day....it is really overcast
and very "close" feeling out there...luckily we have AC to keep
us cool and comfortable--

I forgot about your snowballs. I'm glad you're working on them again. Hot and humid here too! I'm sitting indoors enjoying the A/C too!!
ReplyDeleteDinner sounds yummy - I am a big fan of simple and easy in the summertime. It is overcast and humid/hot here too.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowballs. I had to run to a town called Pickney my quilting machine had a small mishap. So she is having a spa week, of course when I am trying to quilt and finish things up. Love your snowballs. When I got back, we ran for cover, bad storm. Then took the kiddos to buy fireworks for the 4th and to get McDonald's for dinner since they are always helping out around here.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowballs. So fun
ReplyDeleteThe color combinations are gorgeous! I also love your pressing board even though you told us to ignore it. I use an old towel that was my Aunt's. It's ripped and stained, but I think of her all the time. :)
ReplyDeletegood for you using up those bits and bobs
ReplyDeleteOh I like those colors in the first snowball photo!!
