I haven't sewn much lately. My family and I just got back from an epic 12-day, 3000 mile road trip in an RV. Yes, it was as exhausting and crazy as you are thinking. It was also as good as you are thinking. :o)
And while it was (technically) possible to have a sewing machine in the RV, it wasn't really possible to sew while in motion, with 3 small children and their constant needs. And their constant motion. And their constant talking.
Thankfully, I was able to work on my Schnitzel and Boo swap mini at my in-laws' house. I didn't do much, but I did attach the Dresden blades to the background for my partner. Then I hand-stitched them down on the drive home.
I don't think it will be that big, though I do want it to be off-set. Here's a picture of just the Dresden plate.
Now my question to you is, how should I quilt it? What do you think? What would you love if this was given to you?
I'm linking up with Lee of Freshly Pieced for her regular WiP Wednesday party. :o)
You know what I think would be kind of fun? Squiggly lines in teal-aqua-yellow variegated thread leading out from the points of the dresden. Don't know why, it just struck me!
ReplyDeleteOf course I would love it and I would do some straight line or gently curving lines either straight across or radiating out from dresden.
ReplyDeleteFMQ it! RV trips are fun though :o)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see straight lines radiating out.
ReplyDeleteGreat block and I love the colors...
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty! What about echo quilting?
