It's time to start working on putting together my quilt for the Tea
Towel Challenge. The towel that I'm going to be using for this round
is one that shows several London landmarks. I was fortunate to be able
to travel there back in 1997 and the landmarks are all ones that I saw
while there.
The
fabrics that I will be using when making the quilt are ones that I
bought in London while there. I plan to add a TOT or a solid with these
fabrics to help them stretch and play nicely together. I'm still in
the process of thinking about what I want to add to it. But am leaning
towards adding things that remind me of England and London. Three of
the blocks that I've thought about adding include the following from
Quilter's Cache:

In
other projects, thanks to having a 2-hr delay this morning I had some
extra time to play so I pulled some flannel scraps that a friend had
given me back in October and cut them down to squares that will go
together in a free form setting. Then pulled some coordinates to go
with them. Will continue working on them tonight when I get home from
school. Will post pics of that as I make progress on it.
Gratitudes:
1.
I didn't slip and fall last night on the icy driveway when I had to
shovel the ice & snow the snowplow left in order to park after work.
2. For the district approving the conference travel for me.
I am really looking forward to seeing what becomes of those cool fabrics. I really love your tea towel, perhaps because it reminds me of times I spent in London long ago and far away ... please be sure to link your progress at the February Check-in.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there, but I saw the movie. LOL I look forward to seeing what you do. Those are interesting blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you are going to use the fabric you bought in London for your tea towel. Love the block ideas, especially London roads!
