And now for the fun part...

Hello Everyone,

I hope you've been enjoying your Summer... or Winter, depending on where you are... It's not too hot here yet, but the fire season has already started. BLAH!

So I've been playing with my hand dyed fabrics some more. I am finally at the fun part..

My little blocks are together, ironed and trimmed. So now I can start making the Hunters star pattern.

As you can see, I have this block in 3 different colors ways.

So sorry for the lousy photos, for some reason I am having a hard time photographing these particular blocks.

I have my plan all printed out, so now I can put these pretties together. I started out with 6 FQ's, so my quilt will not be too big, about 78x78 without any borders. Once I got these blocks together, I'll figure out what I want to do about any borders.

Hope you are enjoying your sewing room too!

What I'm playing with

Hello Everyone,

It's a beautiful Spring day here in N. California. I am up high enough that it is still Spring and the heat of Summer has not descended upon us just yet.

In April, my dd and I went to a quilt show. I found this beautiful bundle of hand dyed fabrics from Always Unique Fabric.

I've never used hand dyes before, and if you haven't either, you may not realize that your 'solids' wont actually be a solid. They have this neat tye dye effect.

This one is the green color in the middle of the top picture, you can see the pinks and blues from the dying process. I think it adds a lot of interest to the fabrics.

 I have them all cut out. I'm going to do a Hunters Star design. I've never made one before but have always liked the design.

 This is just a FQ bundle, so unless I had some other fabrics, it will be a wall hanging or lap quilt. I haven't got it quite figured out yet :)
