What I am Working On!

I have started a bed quilt for Josh, this will be my largest project todate (finish up somewhere between a Queen & King size).  It was supposed to be this quilt;  Scrap Happy from Fons & Porter Jan/Feb 2010 issue, which I still might make one day - but I really wanted a project that didn't take me a year to piece. 

I also am going to try out my Flynn Multi Frame to quilt this sucker and was worried if I put too much time into the top I would be paralyzed with fear/indecsion that I would "wreck it" and it would never get done.  I picked up a large fat quarter bundle of asian-ish prints at Hamels in Chilliwack this summer and added to it a dark green blender from Fabricland.  I have decided on a 9" rail fence block with the 5" of asian print flanked by 2" green.  I think it will showcase the prints while removing the girlyness of the fabrics.

Here are some of the blocks...laid out on the condo floor.  This is a very bad picture - the BB Curve doesn't do pictures inside very well.

I really like how they are looking - much less like a traditional rail fence quilt than I originally imagined.  Amazing what playing with block dimension can result in.

Now I am just hoping I have enough of the green fabric!
