It seems apparent that I am (at this point!) unable to post on a weekly basis. :-( This time it wasn't because of a technical problem, it was a ME problem. The truth is that I would much rather be sewing than writing. I'm hoping that this will resolve itself as I get more practiced at the writing. BUT until that happens, you should probably get used to an irregular schedule! :-D
Today's topic is my zentangle quilt. I want to remind you that when last you saw this, I had two pictures to choose from.
Today's topic is my zentangle quilt. I want to remind you that when last you saw this, I had two pictures to choose from.
I decided to start with the top photo. Since the drawing was to scale (sort of)(4" x 6") it was easily blown up to the size I want the finished quilt to be, which is 40" x 60". I took the drawing to Kinko's and had each quarter blown up to 20" x 30". Then all I needed to do was to tape the quarters together to get my pattern.
I will number each section and cut the pieces apart, then piece the blocks to fit. I have blocks in three sizes. I cut strips in 1 inch, 1 and a quarter inch, and 1 and a half inch increments.
And that, folks, is my progress on this quilt so far. Next week, (or whenever :-D) I will show you where I am on my "go to" block project #2.
