I am still working away on my French General project. The pattern is called
"Cribbage" from Monique Dillard's book Fat Quarter Winners.
I just love the patterns in this book and the directions are very well done. The blocks were fun to sew and I am happy to be using this hoarded bundle of French General fabrics at long last.
After finishing both sets of alternating blocks, I started laying the quilt out on my "design floor" in the kitchen.
So far so good. There are 140 blocks in the quilt so I decided to sew rows together as I went along instead of laying out the entire quilt and waiting for......
one of my four "quilting assistants" to happen along and the blocks to scatter all over the kitchen.
REMY: "I'm just going to rearrange this into a vertical layout for you"
"I want to be the Moda spokescat. Every color goes great with my fur."
"I think your 1/4" seam is a little off here"
It took twice as long to get to this point as it should have but here is the quilt about half way done.
If Remy lets me, I hope to get this one completed soon.
I have several other projects lined up including the
American Patchwork & Quilting "Go Four It" quilt along.
I have my fabrics chosen and picked out this pattern.
I just need to start cutting and sewing.
This month's Another Year of Schnibbles pattern is calling to me as is the Stars in a Time Warp block of the Week so the fabric will be flying around the house this month. Hope everyone is surviving winter and planning as many new projects as I am!
