On my design wall – 2014.07.30

I’m working on and/or thinking about several projects right now.  Most of them, though, I can’t show you any photos.

I’ve started a new dog portrait, but it’s not yet at the point where I can take photos – hopefully, I’ll have something to show in a couple of days.

I have 2 commitments for the next VMQG meeting on Aug 18.  I signed up for the mini quilt swap.  I haven’t even decided what I’m going to make yet, but when I do there will be no photos until after the swap at the meeting.  And, I’m participating in the Round Robin, and that’s also a surprise.

I also have several sleeves to sew onto finished quilts – boring!

I can show you this quilt.  I started it at a workshop in 2013 and finished piecing at a retreat in May.  I just need to quilt and bind it.  I knew I wanted to quilt the flower shapes, but couldn’t decide how to quilt between the flowers – probably something with a geometric pattern and/or straight(ish) lines.  Finally, I decided to go ahead and start quilting the flower shapes, and assume that an idea for the rest of the quilt will come to me.  Suggestions are welcome.

    Great double header on WIP Wednesday! Your portrait quilt for the newlyweds is fantastic, and the floral improv quilt is looking really great. I have no idea how you should quilt the rest of it, but I love how you’ve outlined the flowers and continued the outlining into the background.

    Love the flowers. Think straight lines would really add nice contrast
