Scenes from the Road of Life
I got out a charm pack, Roses and Arrows, and picked a fabric for the other half of the half square triangles. I cut the squares and marked the sewing lines on the backs of them.
I thought it best to cut a few and see how the look before sewing them all together.
Good thing I did. I did not think they were a good match after all. So I took them apart and looked for a better match. I settled on a light grey, Kona Lighthouse, and started over.
I loaded the small quilt top, Clouds, onto the longarm today.
This top was made from six wide selvedge to selvedge strips with the same print of clouds but in different colorways sewn together side by side and bordered with some black fabric. I believe I picked up this collection from a fabric distributor back in the day. I never knew what to do with them. The top has been languishing around for a long while now.
It is on my list of UFOs to finish this year.
