1001

This is the yummy new stack of fabrics I mentioned yesterday for the new project I shamelessly starting. I know I have a thousand things going, so let's call this one 1001! I don't know how well you can see the pattern, but the pinwheels are folded, so it gives it dimension. It sould enlarge if you click on it. It's called Ocean Breezes by Southwind Designs. They have a really neat way of the look of curved piecing, but it's not, and I can''t wait to try it! I am using the yellow for the inner border, where they chose red. I'm also using the four brights for the pinwheels instead of two. I have a friend that is taking a class with me for this pattern, so it should be really fun. Hello to Barbara (no blog) if you are reading this! (she's teaching the class, and she is an awesome teacher, who I always have a great time with!)
I haven't posted this one yet, it is my charm class from May. Our friends are having a baby, so I thought it would be fun to make them a quilt. I'm thinking of making the disappearing nine patch with them. I found a great tutorial here. Evidently I had 'girl' in mind when I made my purchases.... but I just learned they aren't finding out whether it's a boy or girl. Hmmm, back to the drawing board for the baby shower gift. Which is in less than two weeks.
This is last month's charm class, and I think my last :-( There are only two more months of it anyway, but the kids activities conflict with them. I'm going to miss that class, awesome teacher, and such a nice group of women. The blocks aren't finished yet as you can tell, but they were sewn on the featherweight, and with great advice from Quilt Hollow, my quarter inch seams aren't too bad! I really love the blue and white, almost as much as I love red and white, almost! I should go do some sewing- they kids are actually still asleep and it's almost 8 am! A little tired from all of the festivities yesterday, I guess. Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
