I have a few minutes before I have to run out the door (well hobble perhaps) to book club meeting.
Remember the Windows quilt (photo above) I've been working on for months to show at my guild's quilt show in June? (Still not finished.) Well guess what. Two members brought the same quilt to show and tell at the January meeting this week. They were beautiful. I'm nonplussed. I picked this pattern because I thought no one else would go to the trouble to piece all those thousands of 2 1/2" square. But they did.
Now I don't have a clue what (if anything) I'll have to enter in the quilt show, but it won't be Windows. I have two or three small quilts finished except for binding, and a couple of large quilts started. Have to give it some thought.
OK, better go. Have to pick up sister Ramey for book club. Then we're having lunch at a new restaurant in Leeds, Sweet Caroline.
Knee still feels lots better, but my back is the same as ever--awful.
Tell me how you like the new restaurant! I'm gradually getting up steam to come that way.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't your Windows quilt use different fabrics from the other two Windows quilts? I remember being at the Dallas quilt show a couple of decades ago and had stepped out of the crowd into a 3 sided display of 3 quilts. After looking at those 3 quilts (made by the same quilter), I noticed she'd used the same pattern for each of those quilts, but very different fabrics (one Christmas, one Autumn, and one Spring/Summer) and changed the placement of the lights, mediums, and dark fabrics so the quilts looked very different from each other. Just food for thought and remember to have fun with whatever project you choose to display at the guild show.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Enter it anyway! Your color choices are beautiful.
