I have started working on my blue drawer. Actually that drawer holds left over pieces of fabric from other quilting projects in the blue/ green color family. My memory is beginning to fail......because I don't remember ever buying some of this fabric. No worries though, I'm starting with a simple 9 patch for this quilt. The blocks will be 9 inch finished in blue and white. The corners and center of the 9 patch will be blue, white will fill in the rest of the block. I'm sure that all of the different hue's of blues will make it a very pretty quilt when it is finished. I think I am going to need 41 blocks to make a twin size quilt, with 40 offset white blocks. Well at least that is what the math tells me right now, we will see when I get it all layed out if the math was right.
Quilt #2 will be in purples. The pattern that I found for it is called Lasagna by Terry Atkinson. It will be a very quick quilt! It is just 4 inch strips of fabric sewed together in varying lengths. Think of the jelly roll races except you sew them together and chop at 54 inches. I recently had a customer bring this quilt to finish for her. I studied it for a REALLY LONG time trying to figure out the pattern. Silly me the upside to this pattern is that there really isn't one, just cut fabric and sew.
