Once I had my bucket bag complete, it was time to
decide what to work next.
I probably could have started quilting my Deco quilt,
as I had the backing prepared, using leftover strip sets..
but I didn't have the motivation!
I had been sorting through my stash, selling some
'no longer loved' scraps of fabric on Facebook...
which unearthed some long forgotten favourites.
So I started cutting and piecing....
limiting my palette to gold, brown, orange, rust, teal,
navy and green,
Or probably more simply- no red or purple!
I like to use a black and white photo to check how
balanced the block placement looks.
I still have many more blocks to make to get a decent
sized quilt.
I hope to be back with a flimsy soon...
Until then...
Happy days,
SUZ
Loving your new scrappy quilt & I've also been sorting through scraps & using them in a QAL. I must admit to not having lots of motivation at the moment & just feeling life is difficult. Seems extra cold & dull this winter making a weird year even weirder.(is that a word?) Take care, stay warm & hugs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bucket bag. I'm a sucker for the pretty little florals you've used.
ReplyDeleteLove your 'No Red or Purple' quilt too. It's going to be fab-tastic!
Great finish on your lovely bucket bag.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful when a rummage around leads to a distraction which leads to another great project! Looking good.
When I complete a bag so petty, I would got out...to show it off and shop for more fabric :-) But since you stayed home you did well with discovering treasures and sewing some scrappy goodness.
