June Design: COLOR!

 This first Monday in June has my design wall sporting all of the blocks I've made for the 2012 BOM group so far.  --Excepting the ones I used for the bag (here).

 I recently dyed these luscious colors and added a few bits from my stash to make the blocks for April and May.

I'm adding these lovelies from the "Summer O' Turquoise" dyeing and planning some free-form pieced blocks.




Left is a closer look at the April and May blocks.  Not sure about the turquoise/orange/yellow one in the center left, but maybe it will settle down and play nicely with its friends.

A Great Deal

Now that I have your attention...

"It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature."

-Henry James, American author (1843 - 1916)

It takes a great deal of quilting to produce a quilt.  Not to mention the piecing, appliqué, cutting, dyeing, buying, hmmm.... did I forget anything?

I was going to have a quilt to show today.  I was going to finish this quilt today.   I was going to take it outside and photograph it in the sun.  

But there was little sun -- and when there was, it was too hot to go out.  And the saboteurs with whom I live conspired to prevent me from finishing the quilting.  I did pick out something for the binding.  And I did make a label -- it is really cool (even if I do say so...) --  I did it with Word and printed it out on my printer on some of that stuff you buy by the roll.  But I can't show any of that because (big sigh...) it's not finished.   

But I will share a couple of pictures. 

So...maybe tomorrow?
