Scenes from the Road of Life
I finished the quilting on I'm So Blue, formally known as Blue Slabs. I had nothing but trouble with the program for this quilting pattern. But, I got it done.
I trimmed it and made the binding and sewed it onto the backing and plan to roll it onto the front and finish it tomorrow. Stay tuned.
I've been quilting on the Blue Slabs project - which I have renamed "I'm So Blue". I'm using a computer program that looks a bit like a Baptist Fan pattern. I've always liked the look of that.
It's almost done. Just a couple more passes to make.
I decided I had to push forward and finish the top of the Blue Slabs. I've been spending the last few days working on them. Today I got the last of it done.
It's a top! And, it needs a name. And a backing. And a label.
Tomorrow...
In a glaring act of procrastination, I got out the Blue scrap bucket and started making more blue Slabs. It was great fun for a while - until I started sewing the them together. They are pretty much all partial seams.
I've been working on the Blue SLABS again. I started out trying to make pieces to join the blocks together, but that was time consuming. So, instead, I'm just making the blocks I already have join together. Sometimes that means adding, sometimes that means editing.
Here's how it looks so far. I've got the left side all sewn together. Lots of partial seams.
I'm making more blue Slabs and adding them to the wall. When should I start thinking about joining them together?
Not yet.
