A couple of days<\/a> ago, I started cutting diamond shapes to use in the ‘Water’ quilt.\u00a0\u00a0 Today, I sewed three rows together – to figure out if the size I had cut would look good when sewn together.\u00a0 I also experimented with pressing the seams – press all seams to the same side, press to the side alternating the direction for each row, or press open.\u00a0 I decided pressing all the seams open worked the best for me.\u00a0 And, I liked the finished size after sewing.<\/p>\n

Now I’ve cut a lot more diamonds in a variety of fabrics.\u00a0 At this point, they’re arranged on the design wall in no particular order.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m happy with the mix of dark and light fabrics – giving the impression of sunlight reflecting off the waves.\u00a0 I plan to add more fabrics before sewing the diamonds together.\u00a0 (The lower rows are the ones that have been sewn together.)\u00a0 I’m keeping the curves next to the diamonds on my design wall, to make sure they work together, even if I don’t use exactly all the same fabrics.<\/p>\n

In other news, I’ve finally created a page on my blog with the descriptions of all the workshops<\/a> I offer.\u00a0 This should make it easier and simpler for guilds inquiring about my workshops, and for me when describing what I offer.<\/p>\n
