Enjoying the Blues

Quilting this week was rather more productive than I expected or planned.  Saturday, I ended the day with a fabric pull, blues from light to dark with a few grays and blacks mixed in.  The Assistant helped me arrange my layout.

Today, I have a flimsy ready to quilt.  I sewed the rows together in between the next flimsy, and I only mixed up fabrics in one spot, as I have two identical squares touching.  I used 32 different fabrics, including some precious shibori fabrics from Vicki Welsh.  I considered not using them, but they are perfect.

My other light (plus) blue project for the week also speedily turned into a flimsy.  This will be a tree skirt for my sister.  I’ve had the fabrics set aside for some time, but every time I tried to start it, the inspiration was lacking.  Finally, I sketched out a plan and got to cutting.
 

Next week’s Rainbow Scrap sewing will focus on quilting, and then I suspect I’ll need to have another color of scraps in the wings.  Not having a long term project has definitely changed the flow of my sewing room lately.
