I spent a couple days this past week shopping for fabric for my newest project, making a king size bedspread. Between JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby and my two local quilt shops I was surprised to fairly easily find the 10 fabrics needed and a back for it. Now the chore of cutting out 120 10.5 inch squares at least for starters and eventually also working on the two pillow shams and a couple decorative pillows. I ended the week with finishing up teaching binding to the last class of beginner quilters at one of the local quilt shops.
And the ten fabrics ready to begin my bedspread. I took pictures of our area rugs on each side of our bed and the metal art work on the walls using the colors in those items and I think I have a pretty good construction plan.

Your new project is starting pretty well, it's great that you found the fabrics, and they're beautiful all together. I love the paisley ones, and the reds are lovely too. I think I have the same brown fabric, the one with dots. Good luck cutting those many squares. Thank you for sharing your class and runners too.

You had a busy week between teaching and shopping. Getting fabrics pulled for a bed quilt is no easy task. Looking forward to seeing that quilt come together.
ReplyDeleteItsxa big job making a large quilt, your chosen fabrics are very nice. I'm currently working on one for my daughter's big birthday next year, but by bit.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to teach a class. Maybe someday...!
ReplyDeleteYou're so talented. I wish I had this gene.
