I now have PLENTY of fabric to make some of the projects I've had in mind and then some. Enough fabric to last me a long, long,
lonnnnnnng time. What's on my list you ask?
- Make myself a skirt or two
- Re-fashion some t-shirts with ruffles, rosettes, applique, etc so they are a little more exciting
- Make baby quilts for my nephews and nieces
- New cover button jewelry for my Etsy shop Lovie and Boo
- A quilt for myself (you should too!)
- Coordinating outfits for my nieces
- Coordinating outfits for my brother's girlfriend's nieces
- Burp cloths
- Decorate my sewing room
- Wrist rest and mouse pad for my computer
- Throw pillows for my family room sofa and love seat
- Euro shams and a throw pillow to match the quilt Ann made me for graduation for our boyish guest room
- Euro shams, throw pillows, and a quilt to go in my girly guest room
- Throw pillows for my rec room sofa
- Make wall art for the girly guest room
- More blocks for Rainbow Around the Block
Since this a quilting blog I will share with you all some brainstorming ideas I have been tossing around in my head for my
pinwheel quilt. I used an Amy Butler Love charm pack and a Bella Solid charm pack in Snow to make the pinwheels and then bordered each pinwheel square with 2.5" strips of Amy Butler Love. I used every fabric in the line (the quilting fabric weight) once in the pinwheel and once around the pinwheel. Each square is a little different. I had 2 boxes left over and some scraps from my strips which I combined in one long strip to put on the back of the quilt.
I originally set out to make a lap quilt because I can do the basting and the quilting myself very easily at that size. The problem is, I think it's going to be too busy unless I do some sort of intervention. Here's the idea of what it's going to look like now:
I am thinking that if I add some sashing between those squares in 1 color (like the snow color I used in the pinwheel) that it would tie the quilt together better and it wouldn't look as busy. What do you think? Any other ideas
