So, remember this list?
My list of yearly goals for 2015.
I’ve completed several items and ever since I finished my curtains for
our bedroom I have been dreaming of making a summer quilt for our bed out of
the rest of the fabric that I bought from an estate sale last summer. Something not too heavy but that would complement
our summer sheets and not make me too hot on summer nights. The fabric is old but beautiful and I am
basically cutting my squares from pieces of scrap and actual pieces of old
clothing projects that either didn’t fit or didn’t get finished. I had to make the executive decision to cut
down my wishes of solid squares to pieced together squares by cutting pieces
half the size of my regular ones and sewing two together to make a regular size
one. I just couldn’t resist some of the
gorgeous scraps that had hems and sewn seams so smaller pieces allowed me to
use them. I want my quilt to semi match
the curtains in our room which has twelve inch squares. I feel I don’t quite have the patience for teeny
tiny squares and complicated patterns as summer is quickly approaching and I
want the quilt to be ready. Besides, when you
make it yourself it is all about what you
want right?
Sunday morning began nicely and was a wonderful day to begin
cutting pieces with a spring breeze coming through the open windows, Led
Zeppelin playing on my pc and incense drifting through the air. Not to mention my two helpers, Kate and
Tommy, napping in their chosen spots in the room with me.
And my favorite song of the day while cutting...
That's one of my fave zeppelin songs! I can't wait to see it finished!!
