Well, these will last a while to be sure. This is my *in-between* project while the winter keeps me out of the sewing room.
(Couldn't be anything to do with the fact it's a mess in there)
I've had the idea for this quilt for a little while now but was spurred on when I read Pam Bunda's article about make-do quilts in the April issue of American Patchwork & Quilting.
How funky is that cover quilt?! May have to put that on the to-do list as well.
I'll be adding a soft white to the mix when I find the right one. Hmm, I feel a shop hop coming on.....
Happy Stitching!

Diamonds are very eye appealing and the funky quilt is another gee whiz wish I had enough time and energy quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour diamonds are gorgeous! So is Pam Bunda's blog! So glad you shared both. Can't wait to see the diamond "setting"! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of "make do and mend", these type of quilts seem to have so much more character. I look forward to watching your progress. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Diamonds are beautiful! Great job! Love the idea of "making do" - isn't that how quilting all started? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than stars IMHO :0) I'm not much of a stash buster so I'm not so sure I'll ever make a "make do" quilt...besides shopping is much more fun LOL.

Your block is so pretty! What precision! I've been looking at that cover quilt, too. One of these days . . .
ReplyDeleteVery pretty block! It will make a stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour block looks great! Everything fits perfectly! I love that cover quilt, too. I have so many ideas for future projects, I hope I can just do some of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun projects! But winter? Yeah, I guess you're far enough south for that...it's steaming hot up here! I look forward to seeing how both quilts come together.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely combination of diamonds. Is this your hand-sewn set-in seam project?
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome. Very effective
ReplyDeleteThat's a great project!

Your block looks great! perfectly pieced.
ReplyDeleteI really liked that cover quilt too. So many quilts...too little time.
Happy stitching.
So perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am new to blogging but loving the way the groups all share their ideas and beautiful work.
So hear you about the sewing room. I have taken over the dining room and not sure if I am coping with the mess moving into the main part of the house but........ one needs to sew.
Be looking forward to the warmer weather.
Hello Ann, Your block looks great! Those srappy cover quilts can get me in trouble!!! I wished I had more time too!

Oh my - I need to look for that magazine (it is here somewhere) because those bow ties are really popping into my life right now.
ReplyDeleteYour work is always stunning Ann. The diamonds and the circles on the funky quilt scare me, so I am enjoying seeing your progress.
