QAWM-QAYG

While waiting for our brand new and improved water pump to be installed (finished at 3PM) I cleaned up my studio, putting away all my fused fabric. Running water from the tap is such a good thing.

I will quilt In the Pink later. I did add the last border, and it will reside on the design wall until after the Quilt As You Go quilt is constructed.















Now it is time to start the Quilt As You Go quilt, which means I must make some hard choices.
My table didn't have room for my dark prints. Those are heavy into purples, blues, and blacks. Great for contrast, should the need arise.
But I have so many untouched fabrics, and some are over a year old, and just waiting for this moment.  Arrgghh! What to pick?

I am still in the pastel mode, and looking at the set of aqua and yellows, all never or rarely used, makes me think this could be really a different look for me.
But you know, once I start, any and all of my decision could change.
Good thing I don't have more choices, or I might never get started. The lavender must be included, and of course I have to use lime green and pink somehow too.


I plan to start in the middle. I think half square triangles will be the constant and I will be building rounds of simple unpieced borders. The main top will be rectangular, as this will be a twin bed quilt.








I have been knitting too, and finished this Summer Cardi, cotton/acrylic with mother of pearl buttons.
Currently knitting a plain v-neck vest for Dave, who actually asked for one.
Have a great weekend.
