This week was Spring Break. In general, it was uneventful. Miss G went to Colorado with my mom to visit my sister. We worked in the garden and planted potatoes. I walked the puppy (a lot). I quilted straight line for hours and hours!
I’m pondering a new optical illusion variation. (No, I’m not quite done with them.). Green, of course. Do I use the dark or light gray?
I quilted my V quilt. I broke more needles (machine and side threading hand needles) than I have ever broken in a single quilt. I was trying to be very careful, but still when I shifted the quilt and buried threads, I clearly had issues. The front intentionally doesn’t show any quilting, so it looks the same.
I do really like the back of the quilt.
My green squares are all in four patches, and some are already sewn into halves. The stacks are quite large, so I will end the month with another lovely pile of blocks.
I am most pleased by my bojagi panel finish. I caught it last night before the sun went down, so we can all enjoy the stained glass effect. Right now, the morning sun is shining through it, and it is equally splendid. The scraps are mostly hand dyes, and I love all the texture. I learned a new skill, called a bat knot (bakjwi maedup), so there are a few of those too. I need to put in a lot of practice before these look quite right, but they are a interesting new to me way to use scraps.
