more this week

Yes there were a few more fabric purchases...

but I needed to get these for my hexagon project modeled after the quilt in

Vignette magazine a couple of years back.

I've been sewing hexies.

A LOT of them actually.

I am up to 76 at this point and one of these days I need to lay them out for a picture.

I am hoping to do it in South Carolina on a sunny morning.

There just hasn't been much sun in Ohio lately

and I don't seem to get the greatest photography unless I have good sunlight.

I need to work on my photography skills.

It's more fun for me to sew though.

Here's another shot of my bundle of fun fabrics from Superbuzzy.

I stuck to text/word prints, cats and french stuff.

All good and intended for different projects.

I am trying to branch away from using matchy matchy fabrics

or white solid background and

trade those for scrappy light background,

and mixing multiple lines intentionally.

I hesitate to call that a scrap quilt when it is planned,

how about you?

Would you call it scrap if it is planned?

This is a quilt from my new Large Block Quilts book called Lantern Lights.

I started it last week using

Boho by Moda Urban Chiks plus a solid Bella called Earth.

I wanted to use the Boho fabric where the original design is a solid

 and the solid where the original design was a print.

I only had a 1/2 yard of the solid.

And it only made 6 blocks....

Now do I call it a baby quilt and be done?

or find more solid Earth fabric online and

mix the blocks so it looks intentional that the solids don't match?

I mean since the solid is a couple of years old,

 I have no idea where I bought it,

the chances of it matching are about zero.

What would you do? It measures about 36" X 54" at this point.
