Sorry for the late post today. Â The kids are all coming home for our postponed Christmas get together. Â Karl ended up coming home early and got me started watching Man for High Castle. Â Amazingly, now that I cross stitch again, I’ve been watching a bit of television. Â So far, only two episodes in, I love this. Â Sad part…Hubby will hate it.
Anyway, while I’m cooking and hanging out with the kiddos. This is what’s waiting for my attention in the upcoming week.
I got Friday’s mystery clue done and have a good start on the Sunday clue.
These are all cut out and the first seam is finished. Â I have some pressing to do before I get to that.
I have my yellow strips cut and ready to be segmented in squares and then it will be time for block assembly.
On Friday of last week I went into a little panic. Â I’ll be honest. Â I didn’t pay a lot of attention to the colors we needed. Â I knew I was getting fabric from Whittles. Â I clicked the button for the Civil War bundle without really paying attention. Â Then Friday I looked at my fabric box and saw LOTS of pink left. Â Hmmmm… Â Well that’s when I discovered that the pink was supposed to be my “lavender”. Â UGH. Â I was going to go back and redo all of the four patches with lavender but now that I see the finished quilt, I think I am going to be okay.
What do you think?
Right now my plan is to sew one block together and see what it will look like.
I will have pink where Friday’s clue called for lavender but only in the hour glass blocks. Â At this point all of this isn’t bothering me a bit. Â I can change it if I don’t like it…All’s good after all there will be a zillion different looking quilts by the time they are all finished. Â I am eager to see my friend Connie’s. Â She’s using black for a background.
To see what others are working on, check out Patchwork Times. Â I’m off to throw the ham in the oven.
I think it will be just fine and it will be your version. I look forward to seeing your first block. I think this is a mystery I will get done since the colors look so great together.
I think it will look great–a little more color depth.
Careful with throwing that ham! :)
I think you will be just fine. I love the colour palette. I was tempted by the civil war version, but in the end I went with the brights.
I am really looking forward to seeing your block finished. The fabrics are lovely
