This may be a stretch...but bear with me! I have this idea in my mind - its fighting to get out! The end goal is to have a lap size quilt ready by Christmas for my son. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
I was 'awarded' custody of this awesome Ikea fabric from my daughter. (see the family theme) When I saw it, I fell in love with it. That feeling quickly turned into an idea or two and here I am!
Plan: The Ikea fabric will be the backing. On the front I would like to mimic...in an artsy way...the windows. Instead of the dark gray background, I plan on using a deep, dark blue.
This is the beginning of the window interpretation. Only two blocks so far. I'm using hand dyed fabric for the most part. Same colors as the Ikea fabric. I know, a few more blocks would certainly help.
The dark blue looks black in these pictures. Trust me. It really is blue! I sometimes look at my creative ideas and wonder: 'Are You Mad Woman?'
This is going to be continued...I hope to have many other blocks tomorrow. Maybe then it will come together for me! (and you!)
WIP Wednesday....@ Freshly Pieced!
That's going to look so cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm hoping it all comes together! I should know tomorrow.
DeleteYou may be mad... But in a good way! Those windows are awesome. And I love their curvyness! Looking great sew far!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe a little madness is a good thing! Thank you!
DeleteWow! That's a very creative idea. I think it looks great and will follow your progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm working ever so slowly!

ReplyDeleteThank you Royce!
DeleteLove these little windows!! Fantastic job, can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm loving it!
DeleteI have a hard time "seeing" concepts (unless they are my own), so I am very excited to see this finished product! I'm still thinking about that car quilt idea, too...Once the girls are gone, I am looking forward to spending some time in my sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand! I'm that way too. I have an idea in my head, can't explain it, but know I'll get it out there and done!
