IC 2

These are pictures of projects I'm working on!

I'm in construction for IC2 today I should be ready to sandwich by evening. I may hit the fabric store for a matching backing but that just gets me in trouble!

A quilt for my niece. It was practice. I found a pattern I like - great for baby quilts. I lost some points on the edges. I'm working on that for next time. Really she doesn't notice she just sees the princesses. I held onto this panel for a long time before I finally found a use for it. It's bordered by a great dark pink batik. In person this really makes the body of the quilt Pop! I made the same pattern for my friend Patrick! I will try to post that tomorrow.

I saw this quilt in a window. Someone had tried to make a simple quilt and they didn't do a great job with the points or sewing but the colors and juxtaposition of contrasts was so striking, it didn't matter. I tried to duplicate this. Upon beginning to quilt, I realized there are just way too many colors, and I switched to stipple quilting withh invisible thread. But there was this great gold-chartreuse yellow fabric I found (I used this twice) I practiced quilting little squares to mirror the pattern on the fabric. This used gobs of thread but it's so worth it. I ran out, got more, and hope to complete this over the weekend.
