This is how my design wall looks right now:
This piece is going to be called “Blue and green should never be seen”. The strip of fabric on the right will be used to fill the holes on the quilt top. I was originally going to do half-sized log cabin blocks, but after I had made one and tried it out, I realised it would be too much of the same – as I had used all my various blue and green fabrics in the large log cabin blocks.
This quilt is another assignment from the QU course Self Expressions. We were to design a quilt that said something about ourselves, but along the way it turned into more of a piece about my mother. So I think that’s the way it’s taking me. I’m not sure now how much of my original sketch will end up in the finished quilt. Maybe quite a bit because I think we were very similar people in some ways.
I’ve been cleaning out my stash and finally getting round to washing all the fabric that wasn’t yet – because the bit I need next wasn’t washed 
Meanwhile I am pondering on how to progress after the next step that I have already decided on.
It’s also snowing here today – so a good day for doing things in my studio. Just when we thought spring had arrived, the winter we never had came instead.
