Improv 9 Patch......Progress

 

We are 2 weeks into Hay Season...

I mowed the 4th hay field today...

The Cowboy has baled the 1st two fields so far...

In between mowing hay...

I have been spending time listening to

the hum of my sewing machines...

a few minutes here, a few minutes there.

It all adds up !

I have been making more 

Improv 9 Patch Blocks...

This is the meager solid fabric stash

I started out with...

I have been hard at work adding to my solids...

Now how FUN is this !

I also found a Kona Solid Fabric color card...

365 yummy colors !

In my non-haying time I stitched:

Green Blocks...

Red & Pink Blocks...

Purple Blocks...

Orange Blocks...

65 Blocks up on the Design Wall

The blocks measure 5 inches

I couldn't handle the gray blocks...

my eye kept sticking there every time I looked

at the design wall....

they are too flat, too dull...

they had to go.

I started moving the blocks around...

I am angling them from top left

down to bottom right by color family.

I am making lots of white blocks

for the border treatment.

I want the quilt to fade out to solid white

on the outside edges.

It's a plan...we will see how it shakes out !

In the mean time,

I will keep making hay and quilt blocks:

I trim all of the blocks to make them wonky...

This adds up to a lot of trimmings...

I plan to use them as skinny slivers

in the rest of my improv projects.
