I must be in the zone! It has been three days of non stop sewing. The pink quilt is still relatively pink.
I haven't changed it much since you saw it here in the previous post but I found another project in the "Lost and Found" bin.
It is calling for attention but it will have to wait because I started a new quilt just yesterday.
In the morning over the cup of tea, my husband asked, if I have made a quilt with primary colors.
Did he mean with yellow, blue and red?
Yes, that's what he meant!
Silly me!
After thinking for a bit I realized, I hadn't... made a quilt with primary colors.
It sounded like a good idea to take on as a challenge. So I went looking for three colors in my stash of solids. Guess what? I have literally used up most of the bright colors from my stash.
I did find some pieces of yellow and red and little yardage of blue, decided to throw couple of pieces of his old shirts and that was enough to get me going.
As you can see, I am not doing a great job on keeping it straight or flat. I also want to acknowledge that none of that is important to me. What I do want is to focus on colors and composition of this piece. As I continue to work, it is making me pause and think about the gentle curves and the movement they create. I am also making a mental note of every decision I make. Do you ever do that? I mean something like why you choose one shade of color over the other?
I love the simplicity of this housetop block. It is still a work in progress.
At this point, I am also very curious on where it ends up.
Talk about a morning conversations! You never know where they will lead you. The truth is, you don't need much of a push when you mind is already charged.
I am definitely in the zone. Hope you are too!
