Well, just does not seem like I am spending enough time on this project...blogging. Wonder why that is.....such good intentions at the start, but it sort of fizzles out as I get busy.
So, the last time we chatted, I had just sent in my entries to a fabrications/art exhibit. Unfortunately, none of my quilts/designs were picked. But, that does not deter me...I am still at it.
This is what I have finished in the past month...


 
I have not done my hand sewing on the binding, yet...in this picture. Yes, I looks like it is a bit crooked, but it is actually the way that I cut it. I have used this cut on a number of different projects. I go back to it, because the angle across the bottom adds so much depth to the field.
 
 
I have also made a couple of flannel baby quilts since I finished this one. I love the frayed edge flannel baby quilts...so easy to make and so quick. The first one that I made...was practical. At least that was what the father of baby called it. Darker colored, luscious Maywood Woolies Flannel. It is such a nice soft flannel. However, I next made a "cute" frayed edge flannel quilt out of fabric that was purchased at my local Joann's store. I was not completely satisfied with the results. Not soft or fuzzy enough. Feels too limp...I guess we all live and learn, or is that live to learn.
