Remember this fabric I brought home from the Caring Hearts Community Quilting group to make a "man quilt"?
I laid it all out in this post.
Well now it looks like this:
Some of the squares have been fussy cut. This is the first time I have done this and I'm pleased with how they've turned out (without wasting too much fabric).
This will be a scrappy quilt because I don't have enough of some of the strip fabrics so will have to add some extras.
And my design, inspired by Wanda's modular quilts, looks like this:
It represents the horizontal logs of a cabin. The squares represent doors and windows and are there to showcase the prints on the fabrics.
I will make this block by block, then piece them together to make the top and quilt it myself. No quilt-as-you-go technique here so it will be a test for the throat space of the new sewing machine! I even have a design in mind for the quilting.
Now I'm working on four quilts at once! Am I mad?
