Few months back I signed up to participate in Lazy gal Liberated Amish Quilts 2010 Get Together.
I thought it was perfect challenge for me since I love both, Amish quilts and liberated quilting.
I added another element to that challenge and restricted my self from buying new fabrics for the quilt.
I looked through the Brown Collection of Amish quilts to get inspired. I also looked through few books in my library for the challenge.
I think I am set.
"Broken Dishes" pattern has caught my attention.
I have not worked with triangles in a long time.
This is like a recipe for perfect storm!
An Amish liberated pattern with favorite kind of fabrics and a very short time to work on it.
The temperatures are going to be very high tomorrow.
It is going to be stormy in my sewing room...since I am starting it just a week before it is due.
I picked a really old Indian woven fabric from my stash and any and all the solids I can get my hands on.
Cut few pieces of fabrics today. Made some blocks and this is what my design wall looks like right now.
I am not sure if I am going to be able to finish this quilt in time.
But, I am having fun and enjoying the process.
I love the black triangles, how they vary in size, and the Amish colors you've chosen to go with them. It does look like a stormy day!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the solids, keep going and I agree enjoy the process the quilt will get done in your time frame!
ReplyDeletelove how you paired the grey with the black.
