There is a fairly new quilt shop that I go into occasionally and Walmart has fabrics too, but limited. Today I got 2 yards of this:
Pretty bright I know but it won't be used alone, I am still in the planning stage with this one, and just barely there at that.
Yesterday I got the 2 halves of the 60 degree diamonds quilt done so all I have to do is join them. It is strictly a utility quilt. Etina says they need bedding to go camping with so maybe I will send it to them. It's still too cold to get the quilting frame set up and we even had a few flakes of snow today. If I get the 2nd trapunto quilt done before I can set the frame up I will start quilting it free motion in the dining room, I already have too many tops waiting in the attic to be quilted.
It hasn't been pressed yet and the 2 halves haven't been joined. I'm not really worried if the points don't match up too well, since it's going to have some rough usage. I am enjoying making it and that is what counts. I have enough of the diamonds cut and sewn for at least 1 more top, maybe two, and I want to experiment with a different setting. That's what's so fun with a one piece quilt. Especially since it doesn't tax the brain with overthinking!
