WIP Wednesday


I have the "eyes" to applique on two blocks, and then I can put the bottom row together.

Before I do anything with that plaid fabric, I'm contemplating how the border fabric looks with it. In person, the fabric doesn't bother me as much as it does in photos! Changing the fabric out is a tough decision at this point.

While thinking about the plaid, I dug out some old guild BOMs and started adding sashing to make them big enough for Little Island Quilting's Soy Amado project.

Fabric swap


Worked on this for hours and hours yesterday. Thankfully my cold isn't affecting my brain so much I can't do a little sewing.

But now that I look at my progress, I wonder if that plaid in the squares of the third arc from the left in the top row is too distracting. I'm starting to focus on it every time I look at this. That fabric is also in the segments of the arc in the third arc from the top on the right edge of the quilt. It's not bothering me as much there, but if I swap out the plaid squares then I think it will.

Wonder if I could tea dye that fabric in both places or tone it down some other way. I think it's the brightness of the lighter parts of the plaid that are bothering me. I could just swap it out. I've redone so much on this quilt because I changed my mind about design (or made a mistake), that it wouldn't kill me to do a bit more "reverse sewing."

The other option would be to add more of that fabric, probably in the lower left. Although that could just make it distracting in more places! Thoughts?

More progress

Although it doesn't look like there has been much progress on the Gypsy Kisses top over the last few weeks, there has been. Four blocks are completely appliqued, and all the arcs are stitched. 
This quilt is going to take awhile.
