I've finished hand quilting this piece and...............
I feel that, for me,
there's way too much quilting going on...
I am not much for the overall "wrinkly" look...
I am much more used to tying my quilts and quilting sparsely....
Well...here is the back anyway....
And here is a view of each oriental-themed string blocks:
with the partial geisha
faces....
This very last one only has a piece of a geisha's headdress
peeking out....
This was the absolute last little corner of my geisha fabric, but..
I went on etsy-- and on the very last page of my search
GUESS WHAT?????
I found another yard of it...and snapped that baby right up....
That really made my day....;*}}}}
*********************************************
And here is my progress on Spring Strings:
soo....
that is 42 separate quarter blocks
and YET>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
LOOK at my scraps!
I don't think they've been whittled down very much at all...;0000
but, I will say that the range of available colors has been cut
a lot--
so, each little block is a bit harder to put together
and takes more "thinking" .
More blues have been added and there are
fewer yellows or greens in my pile...
I am not planning, so to speak;
still pulling semi-randomly;
and, not thinking of the "Big" 4-part blocks or trying to
coordinate those...just each smaller quarter....
We'll see how it comes together...
So far the Nine Big (4-part) blocks are sewn together--
[but not to each other as yet--]
I am trying not to shuffle too much--
as that way lies madness....;000
they are pretty much in the order as I finished them.
AND
I am still doing 2/day ...
amazing how fast they are mounting up..
****************************************
I don't usually make lists, but when I looked in my
spare closet this morning I saw this array:
Many, many small and medium and-- 3 large projects
either to be layered, quilted and/or bound
hanging there:
12 here
And:
that makes :TWENTY finishes ahead of me....(ack)
.....SOOOOOO, why am I working on new ones, I ask???
?Quien Sabe?
One of the mysteries of my life....;))) and
quilting, I guess...
