Bangles! |
This is my it's-too-nice-to-sew-inside or it's-too-hot-to-be-under-a-huge-quilt project. English paper piecing is just the perfect thing. I even took it camping over the weekend! The quilt is inspired by Sarah Fielke's Bangles quilt in her book Hand Quilted With Love.

I still haven't decided how big the quilt is going to be, but I'm thinking I would like to get it to be a good lap-size couch quilt. Depending on how long it takes me to tire of making bangles.
Back in the fall, a half-yard bundle of Simply Color made its way into my stash. A lot of it will be making its way into this quilt. Perhaps Simply Style will make it in there, too!

followed the link from pmqg to here, like your colors, how's the project coming along?
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along well - I've got 16 rings finished up so far. And I'm in no particular hurry :) Looking forward to seeing you at a meeting! Will you be coming in August?
DeleteLove this pattern and your are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny!
DeleteYou are tempting me with another project I don't have time for... I'm going to have to experience this one through you! It looks great so far.
ReplyDeleteThat's the worst part of being in a guild and having access to the internet...unlimited project ideas and limited time! I'll keep you updated with photos, don't worry :)
