Yes I am making snowballs today but its raining not snowing lol....as I mentioned in previous posts I am making a snowball quilt as a Christmas present and will hand quilt it so its get down to business and get the top done so I can get on with the quilting....
The 9 patches have been done and I started on the snowballs earlier in the week and between last night and today I have them ready for putting together....in the picture is the quilt so far in various stages....I used 1075 -2 inch squares in this quilt so far....I just might use up all my little squares lol....I could even possibly have enough 4 patches to use as a border....more on this later....
When I leave my blog I will go back to the sewing machine and start putting this quilt in rows and maybe be ready for a border later today or tomorrow....
I put a few together to see what it is beginning to look like....the ivory 'snowballs' will be ok I think as she does not like things to look 'too new'...I worry about the squares looking a little too bright but will have to see after it is put together....
I made her this small quilt for display in her old cabinet while back and the colors were bright but the background was dull and she thought it was ok....
I got the batt out today to relax on the couch, no pun intended lol but I don't have anywhere else to stretch one out...I thought about fixing some mounting things in a double doorway but the batt might get ripped as people would move it to go through the doorway....so will let things be the way they are..that is all the info I have about this quilt so far but more to come later....
The prism quilt???? its on the sidelines till I get the snowball top done and in the quilting frame then I can work on it when I get tired of snowballs lol....
So I need to find some lunch now and then get back to sewing...more later...
You do such good work, I like the snowball its not to bright at all.
