Today begins a first full week since before the holidays of school, work, and finally
a revisit to our regular routine. Which for me, means that I will no
longer have to scramble to finish up etsy orders during the sewing time I find and
that I can finally focus some real energy on new quilty projects!
Last Wednesday on my one and only free sewing day of the week, I accomplished exactly half of my Minimalista quilt top. I'm using the full collection in fat quarter cuts combined with coordinating Pure solids in Coral Reef, Honey, Cozumel Blue, and Ash. I had hoped to write up instructions for my quick pattern sketch as I went along, but things didn't come together as easily as I envisioned. I am really pleased with how it looks so far, but it involved a bit of tweaking to get it there!
I love how Art Gallery fabrics quilt up, especially combined with Aurifil! You might have noticed!!
With my Watermelon and Honeycomb panels complete, this week I plan to cut into the Noir and Turquoise colorways with high hopes up finishing up to share by this Thursday or early next week at the very latest!
But first, I'm super excited to work my Fat Quarter Shop Blogger bundle into something special! I LOVE color, but these colors are so, very me! If you'd like to take a closer look, be sure to visit the Fat Quarter Shop!
I'm off to jump in... Everyone have a wonderful Monday!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you make with the Noir and Turquise you have a skill I wish I had,
I just cannot get the lines straight :)
The coral and honey yellow together is very pretty. Makes me think of Spring!! =D
ReplyDeleteIt does look Springy but that will change once the black & turquoise are added! I love how fresh and modern this collection is. :)

DeleteCongratulations Maureen! I just read this post about your quilt on the cover of a UK quilt magazine! That's awesome!!! http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/2014/01/love-quilting-and-patchwork-magazine.html
ReplyDeleteWhat is the backing for the quilted squares?
ReplyDeleteLooks great, your work is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing, and I will continue to follow you and see the amazing quilt when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! I did a similar take on HST with strips on one of my patterns. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWaiting (not so) patiently to see your finished top. I also bought this minimalista fabric (it arrived the same day that I read this post on your blog) and am waiting to cut into it until I see your quilt in all it's glory, in case I change my mind about what I want to make with it.
