Work in Progress Wednesday

I have blocks from yet another signature block swap sitting here just waiting for inspiration. I put them up on the design wall as is and I think I like it!

Sometimes simple is best. I am going to try out a few ideas on EQ but I may well come back to this. I even had a perfect border fabric already out.

I pulled this as a possible binding fabric for the last signature quilt I made.

I have two other fabric tacks at the idea stage.

I bought this stack of Kaffe fabrics a while back on sale and think it looks very springlike! I want to find a solid to go with them but I think I want something other than white.

I also have this stack of patriotic FQs from Connecting Threads.

No doubt this will become another QOV, I just need to decide on a pattern.

I have this stack that I bought at Hancock’s last summer but I think I need a few more shirting fabrics to go with what is here.

    An idea for the solids for the Kaffe prints: try pairing them with his shot cottons. They are great because they have two colors in each fabric so you get “solid” but also a subtle “shimmer” from the color variations within them. Doing so is admittedly a splurge though.

    I also got a bulging stash of fabrics collected to make QOVs. Now I really hope I actually (finally?) get to make one this year!

  2. I love those signature blocks … and the border fabric you’ve chosen, too!! I agree … sometimes simple is best.

    I bought some of that red (that you got at Hancock’s) when I was at Hancock’s of Paducah last year. I’m using it in my Texas Star quilt … it’s in the basting stage (EPP), so it’s being neglected. We will be taking a road trip to Hannibal, MO in a couple of weeks, so it will get some attention then.
