Its soooo hard waiting for fabric to arrive.
I ordered my background fabric for the Mary Mannakee quilt and it hasn't arrived yet.
Decided while I wait I will continue piecing a quilt together and to keep up my applique skills I whipped up a few more baskets from the Cold Wind Blows book by Alma Allen and Barb Adams.
I am glad I took the time to put them up on the design wall, even if it meant I had to take the quilt I am currently working on off for the picture.
It shows me I need to add other color baskets in there plus a few more bright repro's . I am laughing at how I thought I had a few brights in there and they just blend right in, nope they do not stand out! I am so happy I chose to do scrappy backgrounds, I love the warm look the quilt has so far.
ah look at how these look close up, look at the fabrics not the applique! Most of these have been appliqued while I am on the go...waiting at flute lessons, dr appts, school pick up...
this quilt is for me !
