I'm getting settled in, still have a ton of boxes, but I've decided since the all pretty much match that they will be my decor...all the rooms now have the same theme...cardboard brown!!!
Anyway, I belong to a Yahoo! group that is linked with Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville site. Bonnie designs a ton of scrappy quilts and I found one that I'd love to do. It's called "Ohio Stars & Rails" and decided to do a red/white/blue patriotic one--the kicker is, I want it finished by July 4 as a wall hanging so I can have one wall with something on it besides paint!
I mentioned it to others and several are thinking about joining in with me, so maybe they will keep me focused and motivated to meet my personal deadline.
I cut some reds, whites and blues and made one 6" star and one 6" rail to be sure I understood the directions. I'll try to find my camera so you can follow along with me. If the other quilters join in, perhaps they also have a blog and I'll link to theirs and we can follow them as well.

It looks great, I wonder what it would look like in purple, green with orange stars? Drat, might just have to try for this one, too.
ReplyDeleteI read the blog starting June 2nd, and your studio sounds like it could end up a stunner. I hope you find your camera soon, for pictures of it and your "Ohio Stars and Rails". I am still plugging away on my CC and OC, but am so tempted to jump in on this or the Boxy Stars. I guess I need to get sewing.
