In Bits and Spurts

That is the way the quilt is made.  There are so many things that happen during a week that I can't just sit and sew.  So, the quilt is made in bits and spurts.  But there is no real deadline so it doesn't matter.  Between all the other things I have been doing this is how the quilt has progressed.  

There are two sections ready to be layered and quilted. 

There is one piece of fabric that is not actually hand-dyed - instead it is hand painted. 

The blue with mingled pink and yellow was painted using a technique I learned in the book "Sky Dyes"  by Mickey Lawler.   I love that piece and wanted to have it in a bed quilt so I can see it often. 

This photo shows the already quilted piece at the bottom with the other two pieces in place.  I put this sideways on the bed so that less was hanging off the sides.  The quilt will be more or less square - so it will hang off the sides and foot of my queen-size bed.

Meanwhile,  I realized that I need to make ten - yes TEN- more of the pieced blocks to have enough to finish the quilt.  Fortunately, I have plenty of fabric left.   When the next bit of time and spurt of energy comes along, I will work on those blocks. (unless of course I decide to quilt one or both of those sections.....)

Until Next Time,
