Started another quilt

I had been on a hiatus from quilting, enjoying cross-stitch instead. And then I got horrible news, a very good friend has that awful brain cancer. I’ve known a number of people who had it – in every case

, cancer won.

She doesn’t want to talk about it, she doesn’t want to talk period, so I’m making her a quilt, sending my love and support that way.

Here is the pattern, I actually went and bought a pattern. The geometry grabbed me here, it’s a play on Ocean waves. I bought it on a whim a few weeks ago and I’m glad I did.

This is the basic block. I did pull out my specialty rulers, specifically Deb Tucker. The instructions for the square in a square in the corner, in the printed pattern, waste a heck of a lot of fabric. Also, her ruler helps me cut the elongated triangles.

Combining four blocks make up the basic block pattern, and then there is the play with color.

This is considered in my mind – one block. I love it when playing around with a grouping of one block makes such a definite bold graphic statement.

As you can see, 36 blocks will make 9 big blocks. I am loosely using the color scheme, I think my colors will be a little less regimented. Although, being big bold pieces of fabric, that will dictate how the fabrics will look.

There is always enough of a breeze on the side of my house, so that it is rare to get a flat image! I could have used my design wall inside, but then there is the problem of lighting.

First spring flowers from my garden, I so adore these roses! as well as the other orange flowers that are blooming now.

The grandkids are adorable! Look at these two sharks!

At the beach with these two.

It was a little chilly, but hey, look at the kids, look at the beach!!!
