Some time ago I wrote about TFQ’s cool quilt, Pink Lemonade.
I have washed a lot of blues lately, so my version (future) has been on my mind. Mom came over the other day and on a whim I asked her if she would use my Accuquilt to cut blue squares for me from my scrap basket. The scrap basket over floweth, as they say.
She said yes, which netted me a bunch of blue squares. I am much farther along that I was, though I still have a long way to go.
As I was organizing them, I wondered about just sewing them randomly or trying to organize them like I do with the the Fabric of the Year quilts. I have to admit that it doesn’t sound very appealing. It sounds like a boring slog.
In TFQ’s version, it looks like she sewed the fabrics together sort of randomly, though I am sure there was a method to the madness. I definitely do not see a gradation.
Not gradation, also not random. I put up a post on the blog about the design process.
Do you need blue squares? Let me know and I can collect some for you.
