Quilter's Colors

Still no quilting going on, but at least I am contemplating the fabrics I have here and thinking about a new project...

So many possibilities!

Perfect Match

I am just thrilled at how this quilt came out! Take a look at the quilting - exactly what I wanted! All those swirly leaves fill in the big open yellow space so perfectly and match the "feel" I was shooting for on this one. I know, I know - I've shown you this top before, but not all quilted and bound! Quilting by Bonnie at Quiltville. A big quilt - so I machine bound it using my favorite method - explained on Green Ocean Waves post.

Cushions

Perhaps the 1st step to recovering cushions is... don't even start thinking about how much $$$ this fabric costs per yard. The large directional print did have me a bit worried as the idea is to get as many cushions as possible with what fabric there is... so - not to waste tons of fabric matching the pattern, but fortunately, so far it is working out just fine. This huge panel of fabric (1 of the 2 rolls) was only enough for 4 large cushions... I have 3 completely done and 1 more cut out! Next I will do 4 small cushions and then see what I have left over - hopefully enough for at least 1 more big and 1 more small? 


 Obviously, more fabric will have to be purchased to make a total of the 12 cushions needed. These aren't for me - but I thought I would show you what I've been working on; sewing wise. Lots of fun stuff to report, but I've got to get back to these cushions while I am on a roll!
