There have been many distractions as I try to get settled in my studio for some quality fabric designing time. My deadline is August 1!! But one of the nicer diversions was a visit to the International Quilt Festival-Chicago last week. Here I am with my buddies Laura Wasilowski and Frieda Anderson in their colorful booth. We all had work in the Chicago School of Fusing special exhibit, too.
But back in the studio, there are still a few Sweet Lady Jane projects that I’ve yet to share with you. Here is a “modern” little quilt in blue and green simple prints from the collection.
I love to mix uncomplicated tone-on-tone patterns with the personality prints as supporting characters. Here the simple geometrics and solid colors extend and connect with the vertical flowered bars. Because of the placement of the colors, a checkered or plaid pattern evolves. The quilt is lap/wall size, 56″ X 42″.
Here is a diagram showing the sizes of the pieces. After the blocks are made they are sown together in strips.
The Sweet Lady Jane yardage needed is:
Daisy Chain, periwinkle – 1 yard
Circle Dance, periwinkle – 1/2 yard
Circle Dance, green – 1/3 yard
Circle Dance, periwinkle – 1/2 yard
Garden Gingham, green – 1/3 yard
Gone Dotty, green – 1/4 yard
Gone Dotty, periwinkle – 1/3 yard
Here is a link to our vendors list to make your fabric search easier. Google Images is an easy way to find the fabric, too.
I’m hoping that my blogging will become more regular now that I am home and have easy access to the internet and my computer! So stay tuned for some new ideas!!
