These "Design Wall Mondays" seem to come around quite often and I always seem to wait until Monday evening to do my post. Last Friday, I went on a Quilting Retreat to the mountains in Tennessee. Thankfully, the predicted snow and ice did not fall where we had to drive. It was a bit cold, rainy and foggy but since we were indoors sewing, that was just fine. It was a beautiful sunny day on Saturday, so many of us took a little drive down the mountain to Hammer's and Dechard's Needlework Shop. Oh, the arrays of fabric were delightful and made you want at least one yard of every bolt. I resisted but still bought a few yards.
ARKANSAS CROSSROADS was begun as a Mystery Quilt at our guild. Since it was offered as a great way to use up scraps, I decided I would try it. Yes, I know there is a missing block at the top. I have more 4-patches than the diagonal stripe blocks.
When I was getting ready for the retreat and pre-cutting many of my fabrics, I discovered many more scraps than I realized I had.
Lovely! I've started a scrap quilt too - I had NO idea how many scraps I really had! I need to make about 10 more!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. That is a great scrap quilt. I'll have to try that one out - as soon as I slow down for a breath! I like the way it looks, and it would be a great leader-ender project.
