En Provence Link Up

I have all clues 6 and 7 done.  I began putting the blocks together but have decided to change some things.  Fortunately the designer, Bonnie Hunter, is always gracious about telling us to make the quilt our own.

First I added more variety in my green yellows.  Next I decided the four patches in the sashing looked too chunky

So I picked a green fabric to use in the sashings but then I decided I didn't like the hourglass units in the sashings.  So below is how I will do the quilt.  Note some of what is pictured is sewn and some is just new pieces added on top of others or the design wall.

School's back, normal routine commencing..

I caught a cold over Christmas break and everything slowed down...housework, sewing etc.  Now I am feeling back to normal and am catching up on everything.

Bonnie Hunter did a New Years reveal of the En Provence Mystery.  I am only half way done with clue 6 and need to do clue 7 components, but I threw it up on the design wall to see how the colors would play together.  I am liking this quilt!

Wouldn't it be nice if photo filters allowed you to remove threads from the design wall?  Well there may be a way but I don't know it.

Visiting at Christmas

I got to see grandies last week when we visited Memphis.  We missed Stefan as he was at work.

Bonnie Hunter's En Provence - part 4 is done.

I'm loving the progression.  It is fun to have components to play with and I'm sure the reveal is going to be something I haven't considered.  To see the progress of other quilters click En Provence

Bonnie Hunter's En Provence Part Three

I am using blue where she has purple.  I am loving the color intensity of these four patches.

and I am hoping we will be making stars

This is such a fun project.  To see other quilter's progress click En Provence

Little Selvedge Quilt

I found this green fabric and thought it would make a really cool background.  So I made selvedge and fabric strings churn dash blocks.  The top is done.  I am thinking I will just quilt it in the ditch because I don't want to take away from the background and bind it in a magenta.  It might become a table topper for my little kitchen table...I am not sure.  I am not sure if it needs borders and or anything else.  It will probably hang on my design wall for awhile as I decide.
