This will be short and sweet. Before Christmas and after Christmas I have been working on the same project, my Colorbox quilt (formerly known as Crazy Traditions). The quilt top is finished and it is on its way to Washington State for excellent machine quilting. So since it is not technically finished...here it is. From a couple of different angles. It is 107 by 107 inches. I don't have clear space that large anywhere in my house to take better photographs.
I've been knitting. Halfway done. With the log cabin blocks, that is. Then there will be a lot of sashing, which apparently requires
lots of circular needles. All in the same size. These haven't been blocked yet and the extra tail hasn't been woven in...And that extra large block on the bottom? It was my first one. Before I bought a counter to keep track of my rows. Oops. I'm sure once it is blocked and knitted into the rest of the afghan, it will be just fine...
When you are finished with a large project, do you just jump right into the next one? I always have to decompress a little bit. This usually involves cleaning/organizing. I have found some treasures (some Basic Grey, some "Posh" by Chez Moi) and I'm almost ready to destash, so you might want to stay tuned .And cleaning a sewing room counts as a Work in Progress, right? Of course it does.
It feels really good to get back into the quilting groove after the holidays. Thanks, Lee, for
hosting this each week. It's such a good way to stay accountable.
P.S. Have you ever watched The Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson? Have you ever wanted to give it a try? I have a gift certificate for half a season that I will give away to the first person who wants it. Given to Marls.
Loving the quilt. Please show it when it returns from the quilters.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use the gift of watching the Quilt Show if it is still available.

I just had to comment, I love that border so much! It's just awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I adore that colour box quilt already, but I also really like what you are doing with your knit project. That's going to look great!
ReplyDeleteLove those colors so much!! Great sampler quilt :)
ReplyDeleteoh WOWOWOWO!!! those log cabin blocks - you are KNITTING them? i love the colors. i can't WAIT to see how it all turns out!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out really well, and like I mentioned the other day--I love those borders. I know what you mean about not having a place big enough to show a huge quilt. The only place I can photograph something that big is if I tack a sheet on the front of the garage--but that's such a hassle I don't too it too often.
ReplyDeleteIt will be beautiful!

ReplyDeleteLove your quilt top! Can't wait to see it quilted! And, yes, cleaning the sewing room always counts as a WIP! I always have to do a little cleaning and sorting when I finish something. I finished a few things over Christmas and can finally see my cutting table again.
