Design Wall Monday...
I think this is going to be a pillow. These are little kaleidoscope blocks, finishing at about 6.5". They are not fun to make as if you mess up, they look more like a hat for a cantalope. Yep, it's true!
I also have been busy with another project and I have a sneak peak of the quilting. Little tiny squiggles. And Have I said how much I love Aurifil thread??? Oh goodness, it is a thing of beauty. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. First of all, you can wind a ton of it on a bobbin. Total bonus. Then there is the sheen. Lovely! Oh, it is just yummy. This is thread colour is called Bluet, #5007. I used my Aurifil colour chart to get the perfect colour. It was so exciting!
So there you have it! I made four Farmer's Wife Blocks this weekend, and contemplated quilting my Swoon quilt but the jury is still out on how to quilt it. I also decided to join the Granny Square Quilt Along at the Old Red Barn. Fun!
I am going to link up with Judy's Design Wall Monday! Have a super day!

ReplyDeleteLove your kaleidoscope blocks - they are fiddly to make but they look great!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering was a Swoon quilt is. I've seen it mentioned several times tonight. Your Kaleidoscope blocks are cute.
ReplyDeleteCathy,
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the Aurifil Color Chart? I didn't know they existed and now I want one. :) I agree with the others - your kaleidoscope blocks look great.
