Different colors. I am trying to take a photo of what I am working on each day- we'll see how long this new thing lasts. Going looking for matching fabric wasn't part of the plan but....now that the fabric tubs are available.... why not????? Son helped me get the BLUE tub down off the shelving. Really dead weight heavy tubs.....too much fabric???????? I found what I was looking for and added two borders yesterday. More today of a different color- different TUB.
So far the iPhone is co-operating with picture taking and sending. Or I am. Co-operating with iPhone.
As I find a fabric that will play well with the others....I add strips to the already started items. I do the sewing by hand so it takes longer....I need things to fill my day. Hand sewing is nice.
The book I am reading has gotten scary (Linda Howard)...I don't like scary....so I stopped reading. I actually am sort of tired of reading....I know...how could that be true of "book a day" Joanne? But no reading yesterday. Zero. I had a slight flash of something- a book I thought I might read that wasn't scary but....can't recall what it was. Reading Danielle Steel has upset my book reading....I don't like the books but I keep reading them...
I DID find a fabric to use on one OTHER rectangle/square....wow, I had thought I had NONE of that green left.. Now to actually get that going--happiness!!!. I will continue to add strips to the four sides until I feel they are at maximum potential and then I will STOP. At least I hope I know when to stop. NONE of the squares or rectangles will ever "work" together. So hopes of a larger finished piece- NOT HAPPENING. But I am pleased they are no longer potholder sized. Getting past that size is a real victory for me. I am now moving toward placemat size and hope to jump past that as well. Like rocketing into space with square shapes..
Yes, mismatched squares or rectangles could be sewn into a Modern Crazy Quilt.........but if I wouldn't like looking at it- pretty much anyone else would not like it either (and I like some really weird stuff).I have been known to make things that quilters do NOT enjoy looking at...but this is Maine and they are Traditional Quilters and I am Insane.
But such a Loveable Insanity....No..that's not even close to who I am. I am Friction.
I still HAVE NOT made anything with the Rhubarb....but it's safe in the freezer....not going to waste.
