I was planning on stitching Lynda Hall's A Little Porch Time BOM, don't see it happening. I have two blocks finished and they are each large, 18" square, so I decided that I would add some strips and a large border and make each one a lap quilt. Here is the progress on the first one and what the block looked like before I started. I appliqued wool to stitch the center instead of sewing it. I just found a black with red stripes in my stash to add as the border and that should make it a nice size.
I have that book, but haven't tried anything yet....
ReplyDeleteYours turned out wonderfully.
Nancy, That is beautiful! Cheri
ReplyDeleteI think they make great, small projects and a nice way to do them without stressing over doing a large piece.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
it's perfectly primitive want it over my lap.....
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan! I started this quilt last year and didn't get very far either. In fact, I have quite a pile of abandonded projects from 2011,
ReplyDeleteI've got mine anout 1/2 done so will keep plugging along untill I finish it. Love your idea, will have to remember it.
ReplyDeleteI did one block. The sunflower same as you. I am not fond of it and would like to maybe do it in different shades than what I used.
ReplyDeleteI really love Jims Cross Quilt as your new header, it looks so lovely and calm out in the snow.
ReplyDeleteThe sunflower block looks great as a little quilt, wonderful warm colours.
Is it more big stitch quilting?
Hugs, Angela.
I just love the way you work....going where the spirit moves you and always ending with something very special. I'm always excited to see what you do next..
ReplyDeleteVotre bloc est superbe !
ReplyDeleteJ'ai presque terminé le top de ce quilt : j'espère le finir en 2012 ;-)
What a great idea. I just love that block!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think lap quilts are the best. Not too big, not too small, juuuuust right.
ReplyDeleteNancy, it's so beautiful !
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you used, bravo!
