WIP Wednesday, "Side Dish"
This bento box pattern I made very early in my quilting career looked kind of like a spring salad to me, so I called it "Side Dish".
It's the next WIP to be quilted, and there are a lot of mistakes in it as you'll see, the first being that I tried to follow someone else's pattern! (That never seems to work out well for me... consequently, I tried it three times and never have done since.)
I haven't done any work on it, because I don't have enough batting for a queen sized quilt. Normally, that wouldn't stop me' I would just whip up a couple of baby sized quilts or a lap and be happy, but I've made a promise to myself: "No more new quilts until ALL of my WIPS are done." Since I only have four completed tops to do, I should be through those soon (I hope - they're all queen sized!)
And, I'm still working on my magnum opus, "Sparrow in the Rain"; and I now understand why crazy quilts are respected so much in some circles - the amount of work that goes into one of those is well, .... crazy(!), but I hope to have that one finished by the end of the weekend.
Speaking of the weekend, I am going on a road trip to Lens Mills, to buy batting direct. Anyone wanna come on a road trip? :)
See you Friday!

I do like the bright fresh colours you've used. So it doesn't take long to quilt up a queens sized? Having never managed to get to the quilting stage with my one and only quilt, it might give me some impetus to get going if I knew it was a quick process - say its quick anyway:-))even if its not!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely road trip - shame I'm a little too far away to come along!
I really love these colors and I happy you'll be finishing it soon. It'll feel so good to focus on the quilts that you've designed on your own...your great works of art!
ReplyDeleteI like that quilt a lot - and I'd love to go on a road trip there!
