6 weeks ago I began my challenge quilt...
This Memory Album was my inspiration:
I just love this color story...
I decided to do some sun printing ...
I think I matched the colors fairly well to the album
Here it is 6 weeks later and I am finally
getting back to the prints:
I used scraps of white fabric to print on,
so they are all odd ball sizes...
I decided to pull out some of my surface design
fabrics I have created the last couple of years...
Maybe some of these will find their way into
the challenge quilt?
I started to trim the odd ball sun prints:
Trimmings...
This is where I am now...
The blocks don't fit into rows because they are
odd ball sizes.
I think with some partial seams this will work.
This is a gorgeous fabric I purchased from
It is just begging to be included in this quilt...
Here are a few of my hand dyes pinned on the wall:
Vicki's hand dye is on the left...

ReplyDeleteIt is going to be lovely. I too am working on a challenge and really want to blog about it but haven't because it is supposed to stay a secret and boy is that hard when I want to share it with my friends and blog readers.
