I was the lucky winner of a prize from the Villa Rosa blog hop - just for commenting on the different bloggers who participated. My prize arrived this week, and it is this beautiful set of 12 fat quarters from Hoffman Batiks.
Thank you to Villa Rosa Designs, Hoffman Fabrics, and
Rose of Something Rosemade for choosing me for a prize!
No plans for these yet, but I will add them to the stash and they'll probably work their way into various projects.
Meanwhile, this week I also got started on my Luminous Layers project, the QAL at mmmquilts. I decided to draw mine out on graph paper and color in the sections. I had to do the smallest star section twice because at first I hadn't made space for my Fabric E! Now I think it will end up as the background for the very center small star.
Here, again, are the actual fabrics - the dark pink is much darker than my drawing!
This week's task was to make the giant star points. Please excuse my terrible photo - taken on Saturday afternoon when it was a dark and rainy day. You can see above that the light green is a little more of a mint shade.
Today Sandra will post the next step of the QAL - I'm guessing it will be the next size of star points - mine are blue and yellow in my drawing.
Linking up with Quiltfabrication for Midweek Makers.
That is an interesting design. Congratulations on winning a prize.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your winnings. Beautiful fabrics!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the win mixing them into the stash is always the best idea it seems. The design you are working on should work great with the fabric you picked up in Kentucky
ReplyDeleteCongratulatons on your win! I look forward to seeing what you make with the fabrics. Drawing out the quilt design and coloring it is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great prize! Lovely colors for your new project.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize! I like where you are going with your sew a long!
ReplyDeleteOh, very cool fabrics. What a great prize.
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a good start with the quilt along. Congrats on winning the fat quarters. Hope you find something fun that will make good use of them.
ReplyDeleteAren't those batiks pretty! Your fabric pull and start on Sandra's pattern looks great.
ReplyDeleteAwesome prize package!! Love those colors.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning the gorgeous fabrics, Diann. How exciting! I know you will put them to good use in a future project. Wonderful start on your QAL . Do you make up your own measurements for the quilt? It is going to be gorgeous. Enjoy your day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like seeing how this is going to shape up. You and I have the same colours for our giant star points: mint green and forest green! The pattern comes with a colouring sheet ;-) but good on you to draw it out yourself to get a feel for where the colours go. I'm so thrilled that you are joining in again!
