Hello, again!
Sorry for the long absence, folks. As I mentioned in my last post, I was struggling with creative block. I found a project(after a visit to Goodwill) and have been slowly working on it for awhile.
What's Taking So Long?
As you'll see in the picture to the above, I had to cut out a boat load of quilt squares-- 120 to be exact. Generally this shouldn't take 3 months, but when you stop, start, need to get more fabric, etc., I guess it does!
The Project
I am working on bedding for the guest room. The quilting squares and picture to the right are for the duvet cover. Quilt on the back, and the fabric yo-yos on the front, bottom corner.
What inspired me at Goodwill? The gray and white fabric for the front are window panels I purchased there. I figured they would be a lot cheaper than purchasing that much fabric elsewhere.
If you want to see the instructions I used to make the yo-yos, you can find them here
What's Next?
Well, sewing the 120 squares together, obviously. And now with moving and craft ADD, I'm not sure how long that will take. But I do know I want to get this done so people will come visit our NEW guest room!
I also have a new project I thought of yesterday... going to get supplies today and will share later. I'll just say it could be a total disaster. If it is, I'll share it anyway :)
Thanks for continuing to read, even after such a long hiatus! I really appreciate it!
