Finishing Touches

Hello Everyone,
 
Today, I'm putting the finishing touches on my segments for The Quilt Show which is going to be filmed tomorrow.  I was asked to make three 6" blocks that best represent me. The blocks will go into a sampler quilt which reflect each series of the show. 
 

So I made two very small blocks from Country Charmer and of course they had to have plaid in them.  Making 6" blocks with 53 pieces of fabric can make life interesting.  They are like miniature, intricate, stand alone quilts.


The other block I made incorporates components from the Patchwork Math book.


I'll be working on my outline today, print off my graphics onto card stock, pack everything I need to take including way too many quilts since I can't decide which quilts to take.  My list is long.  After the taping, I'm going to curl up in the fetal position and sleep!  I'll tell you all about the taping on Monday.....maybe Tuesday........maybe Wednesday.

Soon,
Lynn

  9. I'm glad that was you doing so many pieces in those 6" blocks. I doubt I could see them well these days and with the chillblains I have at the moment, even handling small bits is hard. Hope all goes well with the taping and can't wait to hear all about it. Have fun and take care.

  13. Enjoy the experience.I think your choices are perfect. I also wanted to say thank you for designing the Country Charmer pattern. I finally got started on it and am so in love that I have claimed the finished quilt as mine. It's going on my bed as soon as I finish it.
