On my design wall

I finished the small quilt made from leftover scraps and Kona neutrals.  I generally don’t choose fabric for the binding until I’ve finished a quilt, but I did have in mind that I would bind it with a darker neutral.  However, serendipity stepped in, and after trimming the quilt, I set it down on top of some dark pink fabric.  I really liked the way the pink fabric looked with the quilt, but didn’t have quite enough, so I pieced it with a dark rusty-burgundy solid.  I really like how it turned out.

I also attacked the ‘pile’ of quilts that needed labels and sleeves.  I made labels for 6 quilts, and even wrote a tutorial about how I make labels.  I also completed several quilt sleeves.  Find a link to my favorite sleeve technique on this page.

I’m still waiting for my coordinating Kona solids to arrive in the mail, so the Kona Modern Quilts challenge will have to wait a while longer.

I’m working on a mixed media piece, with silk leaves.  I’ll stitch the leaves to the background by free-motion stitching the veins.
