Focus

My whole week has been working on the test quilt.
It is big.
It is beautiful.
I can't wait to show you photos.
Here are some bonus triangles that show the backside of the colors.
I think I'll end up using them to make a table runner or something for the bedroom.

I have 2 more blocks to make and then to get the rest of the quilt top sewn together.

Framed 4-patches

This another UFO that came from Carol.
She gave me most of the framed 4 patches that needed little done on the blocks.
I had to find two more to fit with the color scheme.
I loved the fushia batik that I found to match some of the fabric in the 4 patches.
One more UFO DONE
