Layout

So I decided it was time to get this quilt laid out.  DH and Red helped because I just couldn't get it right.

Over the weekend I added more small blocks on the left side of the rows and began to add the horizontal sashing.  I was moving very slowly this weekend. I'm ready to finish this and get back to Cupola Views.

More sampling

Working on some small pieces.  I will need at least 25 of these. I just did the minky in the middle to try it out.  I know how wormy minky is so I used lots of pins.  I also placed a pin at the top of the minky square so I can keep the nap going in the same direction.  I know that if I don't it will drive me crazy!

Decisions decisions

 

I'm still feeling poorly so my sewing has dropped off the cliff in terms of productivity.  I decided I need another fabric for my Ghostbusters quilt.  I've got a layout in my head and I've drawn it out on paper but still was missing something. . .hence the fabric tryouts.  I fiddled around for ages and my son really liked this kind of reflection-y print. (It's from Quilting Treasures: Open Air, Black Pool Water.) It was the winner!  The green square below is the lime minky that will feature in the quilt.  It always looks washed out in photos for some reason.
