Managed to get two quilt tops finished up for Sunshine Quilts as my medical leave was finishing up.
The first one started with a remnant of a school print fabric. Made it into 4 patches. 4 patches then were set with alternating squares of tone-on-tone fabrics. The blues are closer in shade than the pictures.
The second quilt started with 5 blocks that Beth H. made for me from a FQ challenge I had made on Sunshine. The setting was one I had seen used somewhere but for the life of me can't remember where.
In the original quilt the "background stripes" were equally sized, but I didn't have enough of the purple fabric, So I divided what I had in half and put it all together. I like how it turned out and will use the setting again. Might even try it with more than two colors to see how that turns out.
Have a new top for Sunshine in process, but it will take several days to complete because I have so much to get done for school and not enough time in the day to get it all done. =P
Gratitudes:
1. Three weeks of classes left before final exams.......Summer vacation is coming!
2. No matter what kind of a zoo school is like, I will retain my sanity......
both settings are great--filing them away for future reference. :-)
