| Matching squares from covered bridge wall hanging. These are not sewn together yet. Just wanted to show how they will look. I have done seven squares and have five more to do. |
I am excited about starting on my quilt. The fabric is a little darker than this photo shows. The material is a maroon. I chose this material because it matches with my electric blanket and the skirt on my mattress.
The quilt will be a long term project. I do have the squares picked out that I want to do. I still have to decide on the colors for the flowers. Each flower square is a different design. I will have to decide on colors for each square. Some of the colors suggested will not go well with my fabric so I am going to have to lay out my threads and make decisions on what looks the best.
Donna picked out this fabric for me because she and Laif had gone to Portland and she was able to go to Fabric Depot. This is a large warehouse filled with all kinds of fabric. Donna texted pictures to me and the camera showed the colors were pretty close. This fabric is one of the more expensive ones but she had a coupon for 50% off. I got a little over six yards for $41.00. Donna got the stabilizer I needed at Joanne's $21.00. I really have not invested that much for a queen size bed. I should have plenty of thread.
I may have to take breaks from the quilt if some exciting pattern comes up in our All Access Magazines that come out every month. Each magazine has a disc for all the patterns in that magazine. Our subscription is up July 2018. Donna and I split the cost. These are expensive magazines but Anita Goodesign patterns are very unique and give you step by step instructions.
