So I broke my rule already -- I started another quilt. BUT this one is a gift, with a deadline. So it will be finished before the end of the year. Some friends are getting married at the end of December, a date they chose in part due to uncertainty about what 2017 will hold. And as I process my jumble of feelings at the end of this year, making them a quilt out of a rainbow of colors to celebrate love has seemed like something I can actually DO. And so I picked fabrics, and cut strips.
Using the
scrappy trip tutorial from Bonnie Hunter, I quickly sewed strips together and then sub-cut, pressed and sewed again.
And in what seems like no time, I have a quilt top! The scrappy trip is the only quilt pattern I have ever made more than once, and I still love it each and every time. Now to get it basted, quilted, bound and ready to be gifted.
