Country Romance Progress

Hello Everyone,

 

Here's my progress on Country Romance so far.  I'm impatiently waiting for more of the pink background fabric to arrive. 

 

I originally started with a half-yard bundle of Susannah's Scraps by Betsy Chutchian for Moda.  Once this bundle arrived, I didn't open it up for a few days.  I wanted to keep it pristine and beautiful until I had the time to work with it and create a new design.

After I finally opened it, I put it on display in an old tool box in my sewing room.  Here is part of the bundle.

Here's the other part of the bundle.

Since the first bundle arrived, I've purchased additional yardage.  I didn't know what I was going to do with this fabric until I started playing with it.  When I decided to use the pink floral as the main background.....guess what? I only had the original half yard, and I needed three yards.....and I didn't have any. The yardage is in the mail and I can't wait until it arrives.

I'm in Livermore today and tomorrow for class with my Sew'n Wild Oaks girls.  I'm so anxious to see what they've created since the last time we met.  I know it is going to be good!

Don't forget my Mother's Day Sale is still going on in my ETSY shop.  Click HERE and it will take you directly to my shop.  All orders placed over the next few days will be mailed this Thursday.

I hope you all have a great quilting week ahead.  It's a new week, and a good time to finish up a project.....or start a new one!

Soon,
Lynn

Country Courthouse

Country Romance

I'm waiting for more background fabric to arrive so I can keep working on Country Romance.  This quilt will have either 36 or 42 blocks.  I'll see how it looks once I get a few more rows made.  I absolutely LOVE this block!  It goes together so easily and quickly.  There is something to be said for 10" blocks.

Country Romance

Hello Everyone,

 

One test block using Susannah's Scraps fabric led to four test blocks.

 

Now my mind is spinning with ideas for this block and fabric.  It is a very romantic looking block since I used the larger print fabrics for my backgrounds.  This is something a little different than my normal style.  It has been fun changing things up.  I love the additional design the blocks make when they are put side by side.

It is an easy, 10" block which is huge for me considering my last quilt was made with 5-1/2" blocks.  This quilt should go a bit faster.

I'm heading to Susanville in a few weeks for a quilt retreat.  I have two projects that I want to work on, and this is one of them.  The other project that I want to work on is Huckleberry Hill.  If workspace is limited, I will work on the appliqued border.

So many projects, so little time.

Soon,
Lynn
