The process

I really like the process of block construction. I feel relaxed and productive at the same time. I love to just make multiples of the same kind of block over and over. Part of me feels like I would do really well in a sweat shop!

The picture below is of some pink blocks I made a few years ago while living on Main Street in Bountiful. I don't really remember making all of these little blocks, but I have a stack of probably 200 or so. It makes me laugh at myself that I made so many of these little blocks with no end project in site. My sister loves pink quilts so I've been working in setting some of these with plain white to make them pop! I'll show some pics of that project later!

Happy New Years!

As I bid farewell to 2011 I resolve to blog more, to share more, to document more, to take more pictures and to share my passion for quilting and fabric more! Happy New Years 2011!

Pink and Black

Who doesn't love the combination of pink and black. It's a timeless combination. I've been digging into my black and white stash. First to make an all black and white quilt for my niece's wedding. Then it was a black and white and red all over quilt for my sister for a Christmas gift. Then I found a bunch of pink scraps from an old project I'd been working on. So I've been doing a funky log cabin with them. I've also loved the log cabin process. It's been great. Check back for updates!!
