Finally got to start a new project as my eyes heal! My niece is getting married the end of September this year, and now that I can see clearly I'm finally feeling like I can trust myself to cut the strips needed for each block type I need to make. The quilt pattern is based on the pattern found here - Sweet Retreat Bed Quilt. Quilt is a take on an Irish Chain pattern.
Changes being made are to use an overall floral print instead of the large scale floral print used in the original, and colors have been adapted to what my niece said she likes. Colors will include 3 shades of yellow & gold, 2 shades of green, the large-scale floral print featuring hydrangeas and roses, a coordinating smaller print, and a cream batik for the background fabric. Final quilt will be a queen-size.
Still to come - another set of full blocks and a set of matching half blocks, and a set of background blocks.
Gratitudes:
1. For being able to find the coordinating print that I needed to make the block sets.
2. For finally getting started on dealing with more health concerns. Why does it feel like my "warranty" has expired and things are starting to wear out?
