With the 13 finishes I had the first quarter, it's time to start a couple of new projects that have been on my list in my brain. The quilt pattern is called Dinner Party. You can see it here at the Fat Quarter Shop.
This will definitely be a non-directional quilt. I thought I had all the horses going the way I wanted until I realized that I did not have the blocks turned correctly on one of the prints which will be four of the twelve blocks. I had enough of the purple paisley in my scraps to use as the background fabric. I think it's perfect for it. Thank you, Linda, for the beautiful, quality scraps. They are so much fun to fluff through.
Linda also sent me her bonus triangles and little scraps. There will be another quilt of some sort made with these fabrics. I had to wait to find this pattern so that I could showcase the bigger prints.
In July of 2022, Linda--who blogs at Art in Search asked me if I wanted the scraps left over from her Purple, Black & Horses quilt. During the last three years I have been patiently waiting for the right pattern to come along to show off some of the horse prints she sent to me. Finally!
This week I used a school themed novelty print for the back of a red/white/blue quilt with a house in the center. You can see it on my blog post here. I had the school themed print for a while. Someone gave it to me. I really couldn't find a good place to use it and figured it would land on the back of a quilt that I would give to someone at school. After I trimmed the quilt I thought WOW! this might be the right print to use on the Dinner Party pattern.
You can see a pic of the quilt pattern with these fabrics in the pic. I'm not sure what background it will have yet. I might try to mix it up a bit, but I'm not sure how I'll do it just yet. This novelty print came from VIP Fabrics. Remember that chain in the late 80's or early 90's?
So there you have it, two new projects to go on the 2nd Quarter UFO list when I make it.
