Design Wall - just finished the Jungle Dance quilt top. It will be part of my son's Christmas. The center panel is a bargello design and I filled in the sides with simple borders and a piano key border. There was no pattern for this, just a jelly roll of fabric from South Seas Batiks, and then I bought coordinating batiks from Cotton Fields Quilt Shop.
I also just finished Front Street Memories, which is my whimsical tribute to my lovely hometown of Beaufort, NC. Sadly, time marches on, and most of the shops named in this piece are no longer in business. But Beaufort is still a delightful shore town. This piece is is about 6.5 feet long - yikes! and about 2 feet tall. I have not a clue where I'll hang it.My goal this week is to start on the 9 birdhouses in the Home Tweet Home series. Each block is only 8.5" and there aren't many pieces in each block, so hopefully I'll have made some good progress by the next Design Wall Monday.
I love, love, love the Front Street Quilt.
ReplyDeleteMe too! LOVE the Front Street quilt. I also love Beaufort -- it's a charming town.
ReplyDeleteHow clever is your Front Street Memories quilt. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. What a nice memory to keep.
ReplyDeleteI love your Front St. quilt. I am really starting to like houses and city scapes lately but yours is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bargello! The piano key border really adds a nice touch. Adorable street fronts quilt. Time does march on, indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to frame a bargello. I love this! and even though I'm not a real fan of houses etc. your buildings are very nice too.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these projects are WONDERFUL. The town should hang in the city hall but where you showed it, it would make a great bolster pillow for your couch. And I want the African Dance quilt: it is absolutly beautiful!!
