Very little progress

It's been more than a month since I last blogged.  Even though I've been quilting a lot, there has not been much to show for my work.  So, here is what I've been doing.

One of my table runners exactly fits my new buffet!

This is part of a very involved hand-appliqued project that my mother started many years ago.  This corner is almost done.

This second corner is barely started - have almost finished the stems

Our Modern Quilt Guild issued a challenge to make a quilt that embodies the spirit of modern quilting, especially using negative space.  Really a challenge for me, since I've never done that!  The only requirement is that one side be at least 40".  So this is my idea - based on a quilt I saw on Pinterest.  I haven't decided the width, so I've used rick rack to define it on my design board - and keep changing it!

Here is the Pinterest picture I'm basing it on - I've forgotten where I got it.

I've joined a class - "Circle Games" - that uses paper-piecing!  I have only done this once years ago, so I'm learning all over again!  Here are roughly cut circles from the first 2 blocks.  I'm using bright primary colors, and auditioning the setting fabric.

Here are my first 3 months of the online BOM I'm following.  I have a lot to catch up on!  April's project is English paper piecing, which I've never done!  Bright colors here also...

This is a small pigma-penned drawing I traced onto fabric - looks pretty anemic!  I'd like to make all 4 seasons - and put some life into them.










I have a Welcome banner in progress from Mickey's class also.

I worked on my small quilt book - measuring quilts, taking more pictures.  It will be awhile before I'm up-to-date.

One of these days, I'll have something finished to write about.
