Sneak Peek

I've been working on some new quilts, and even thought they are not done, I thought you may like to get a sneak peek. This first one is for my brother. It took us quite a while to pick out the fabric, but we finally settled on a "Nobel's Tunic" themed quilt (inside ffxi reference). This is the second time that I have done a water color quilt. The borders will be the second darkest yellow, the darkest blue and the silver speckled white.

This appliquéd quilt has a lot that needs to be done still. I'll have to take another picture when it's light outside because the colors are much brighter than is shown. This quilt is actually a block-of-the-month. Most of the months were sold out when I got the remainders, so I only have six of the twelve blocks. I need to add purple borders that match the purple sashing and sew around each of the appliqués. I want to get the batting and backing first so I can quilt through all the layers so the butterflies, flowers etc. are on both sides.


This quilt is going to be a little strange in size. I will probably call it an extra long full.
