If you haven't heard, Lynne, at Lily's Quilts is having a Quilt Along! This is my first QA...but I couldn't resist when I saw that the design is a Dresden / wheel design....and I love Dresden's! I have done a few....here and here and here . There have been a few wheels that have tickled my fancy as well.
So today I spent the morning mulling over the fabrics I want to use....
I want it to have a scrappy look...which will be easy since there are plenty of scraps to be had...and for the background fabric I am leaning towards Heath by Alexander Henry.
I also printed off my templates - so I am almost ready to go....
Then, I basted my Tea Party Quilt...
And I cut the strips for binding my Gypsy Kisses (pickle-dish) quilt!!! Whoo- hooo!!!
Pretty good for a Monday!

Mary, your dresdens are my favorite- I found them on flickr long before I found your blog- they were in fact, the inspiration for my dresdens
ReplyDeleteI hope to be able to join that Quilt-along too. That would be fun! Love the fabrics you've chosen. A very successful Monday indeed!
And two Lily's Quilts Buttons added to the sidebar too!!! That's what I call productivity! pretty fabrics for the QAL!
ReplyDeletehahahaha! Yes, I did conquer the blogger button grabber!!! But I couldn't have done it without you, Suz, and Lynne!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for the buttons and make sure you throw that old QAL in the bin and get the new one :-)))
ReplyDeleteYour posting is tempting me to enter this QAL....I sure don't need another project! I just became a follower of Lilly's blog.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looking forward to seeing the pickledish and the tea party quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI have already disposed of it Lynne :) No worries :)
ReplyDeleteMary, just looking at your fabrics gets me all excited to see what you'll make! I can't wait to see! :)
