Scenes from the Road of Life
I loaded the Peach Fuzz quilt onto the longarm and set up a pantograph and got Erik working. I had 3 passes done when I paused for lunch.
When I came back it was time to join the Brave Patch Monday Sewcial. I muted and finished the quilting. Peach Fuzz is now quilted. That was a quick turn around.
I spent the last few days sewing the scraps from Peach Fuzz together to form a few slabs. The scraps were mostly curves which made it challenging, but fun. I was pleased that I used pretty much all of the scraps, with only a few small pieces left.
I used those slabs to make the backing for Peach Fuzz.
I've been working on piecing the blocks for the Peach Fizz quilt. The curves are coming together very nicely with a lot of pinning. I got all of the rows finished and sewn together this morning.
It's a top!
I always said I'd never make a T-shirt quilt, but that's what I'm doing right now. I cut up my Volunteer t-shirt from this year's Quiltcon. It was the color of this year's Color of the Year by Pantone, Peach Fizz. I added some more shades of peach, including a very dark rust-orange. I threw in a few blues. Then as I was putting the pieces up on the wall I decided it needed some white. I looked through my stash, hoping I'd have a white with peach or orange little dots or something - and of course, I didn't. So, I went with solid white. The pieces still need to be sewn into blocks and assembled.
Here's how it looks today:
