:: December 5, 2005 Modern Quilt-Along: Electric Bugaloo
Sorry for the silence ... last week I got sick with a dumb cold, and today's the first day I've felt human enough to get a post together. So here it is, the long awaited, highly anticipated, Modern Quilt Along Update! "Non-batik person" Angela has started piecing her Eclipse from ... batiks! I'm with her on the batik thing -- they don't appeal to me and they do. I love the color play you can do with them but I don't like the marbley, tied-died look on its own. But, when you piece it, magical things happen. Mel has made progress on her pink-orange-yellow Zipper. Having completed her Halloween-themed Once Upon a Time, Rose is putting us all to shame by starting her SECOND modern quilt-along quilt, a Love Beads turned into Love-Christmas-ornaments! Stephanie is making Redwork, but is going to use this amazing quilting pattern she's calling "kelp" instead of the circles featured in the pattern. The kelp idea was inspired by this book, which I've never heard of and clearly need to get. Samantha is a new joinee and is making Zipper. Welcome Miss Samantha! Blair finished her spectacular Once Upon a Time quilt and is also thinking of a second project from the book. She joined and finished so fast (fast = a month or two in my world, apparently) that I neglected to add her to the sidebar over there. Go get to know her and her other inspiring projects over at Wisecraft! posted by in Modern Quilt-Along
Comments So happy to be part of the Modern Quilt Along! Just at the cutting stage, but loving the book so much. And it's great to be able to see what everyone else is doing. Hope you're totally over your cold! Posted by Samantha on December 6, 2005 8:42 AM |
