Aiming for Accuracy Quilt Along
Michele Foster is hosting a quilt along that’s caught my eye (click here)… I’m not even sure why as this isn’t my style at all, but when I saw the quilt my mind transposed all the busy fabrics into something more geometrical looking.
Plus it has garnered quite a following on Facebook alone, and I just think it might be fun to participate! I never do these, as I tend to prefer doing my own thing, but I’m game!
I’m going to be doing mine in marbles and solids, and I’m going to try to stick with mostly three colors, although I do have a few more that I will add in where needed.
The dark charcoal gray will be replacing the black, and the dark sage green will be my primary color. I will alternate the light green, light gray, ivory and white as backgrounds where needed.
I drew up a small portion of the quilt in EQ to play around a bit, I mainly wanted to see how it would look with just a few colors, this isn’t actually how I will do it, I plan to approach each block individually and choose the fabrics that look best for it.
The new lenses in my glasses are night and day better than the first ones! I was immediately able to wear them and do everything I normally do without feeling sick, although I’m still not sure I care for the progressive lens. I will give these a couple of weeks to allow my eyes to adjust, then decided if I want to order a pair of glasses with a single focal length (distance) and use cheaters for reading and sewing. There just doesn’t seem to be enough focal area to read with, at least I can’t figure out how to do so yet. So basically I’m wearing them for distance, and taking them off to read. LOL

Ps… I just realized my fabrics match my blog. LOL
