Hello! It's been a crazy week here at CasaGrande and I'm afraid I haven't accomplished much of anything other than laundry. The one thing I made sure to work on was my new weather quilt! |
| 56 - 68 - 73 - 72 - 69 - 71 - 76 F |
It was a mish mash of weather in the last week but the weather gods are calling for 80's in the coming weeks so it will get more summer like. I've included the month so far there on the right so you can see how it will be on the quilt - 12 columns, 1 for each month.
I haven't really worked on this next project much recently but this is the first chance I've had to share it with you. I'm basically working on this quilt that I found on Pinterest but I'm breaking it down into portable pieces where the original designer is working on 1 complete row at a time. This should be a good project to leave at work or take camping.
Meet Zig and Zag. Or is it Zag and Zig? Who knows. Anyway....I'll be using the stack of 2.5" squares that have accumulated from using the Scrap Therapy system as well as cutting up the smaller pieces of my strip bins while I also cut more jewel heart shapes. Scrappy projects rule!
It's been a very freeing project to put any ole fabric next to any other fabric, just trying not to put too much of one color side by side.
I also found a use for some of my Oui yogurt pots...the 1" papers fit perfectly. Now I just have to order a few of the lids so my papers don't go flying...
Looks like things are warming up for you too;)))
ReplyDeleteI like your zig/zag pieces...
I am still working on my hexettes project love all these smaller pieces...
neat sotrage you've scored, too...i am using little baggies for now...
Hugs, Julierose from "Hexagonia";)))
It looks like it is warming up everywhere. Your zig zag quilt is fantastic! Don't give me any more ideas!
ReplyDeleteNot warming up here! This week would be all blue if I was still making weather hexies (can't break the habit of checking the temperatures and translating them to colours).
ReplyDeleteLove your zig and zag project!
Love, love the zig zag. Hate EPP. I have been printing with Inklingo and attempting hexagons. I could see myself doing the zig zag. You have picked great colors in all your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI have a link to add! Whoohoo! LOL! I love the way your weather hexies are lining up...they are so FUN!! And I think it should be Zag & Zig. Def. Those lids CRACK me up!! Dats so funny!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually worked on hexies on the trip home from Oregon (don't faint). If I ever get another block post written, I will link up.
ReplyDeleteFun new temp quilt design.
And I am loving the Zig Zag design!
What cool yogurt jars. Don't think I have seen those around here, but not being a yogurt fan, I just may not have noticed. :)
Love the shape of your jars.... Good start to the next weather quilt.
ReplyDeleteZig & Zag are cool. We have an Australian clowns duo named Zig & Zag ... https://tagg.com.au/zig-zag/
