I had several of the triangles already finished, probably about 10, and I worked on it for about an hour. It is surprising how quickly they go together, probably about 6 minutes from start to finish for each 9 patch triangle. that includes pressing! I plan on making 4 rows of diamonds, that's really 8 rows. I think I like the green, i tried white but it was so blah. I don't want another red Christmas quilt, so its gonna be this green...
Lots has gone on since my last post, but nothing related to quilting other than this-I had my argyle quilt quilted and here are a few pictures of that quilt-
i decided this quilt should be called caramel argyle. hahahaha. I never name my quilts, but it really reminded me of caramel. Im not that in love with it, but I got some experience sewing diamonds with bias edges.
Thats about it for me, except I need to share a picture or two of the babies:
Cute little Donovan ready to get his chow on (hes so handsome!), and Spencer snuggling up to baby Genevieve like a sweet big brother who loves his beauty baby sister (that translates to "hey a life size movable toy! I think I will body slam it!"). But its really cute to see him give her a hug, even if it turns into a squeeze or a body slam.And he is such a little dear...who couldn't love these precious faces!
I love the quilts! And the babies are all so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHA! "hey a life size movable toy! I think I will body slam it" good one! Good for you for getting down to the quilt room. I can relate to things that you don't really want to do, but once you buckle down and do them, it's not such a big deal.
ReplyDeleteHi, Suzanne! Wow - your Caramel Argyle is an absolutely gorgeous "low-volume" quilt. Maybe not your most favorite, but really lovely for a change of pace! Your little ones are adorable. :D
