Due to the pain I am having pain in my right shoulder I have been looking to reduce activities that aggravate it. However I had a days sewing booked in, whats a girl to do?
With minimal time to prepare, I tore through my project boxes looking for an "easy" project for the day.
Alas everything required either fabric purchases (which means a road trip) or was more complicated than I had the brain space for.
Except for this layer cake, and length of charcoal shot cotton I had bundled together, with a pattern!
Yep, I started a new project! With a few turns of the Go Cutter I had my layer cake and background cut into 2.5" strips. And then I could settle into some mindless piecing.
All that piecing resulted in all these long stripes, which I have also sewed into pairs.
That took all day, but all I have to do is sew the pairs all together and I am 3/4 finished!
This is the free pattern I am using;
and I have pinched the photo of the finished quilt (68" x 80") by the
designer Jo Kramer from her blog: Jo's Country Junction
A very simple strip quilt, but perfect for my days sewing as everything came out of my stash and I didn't have to think beyond sewing five different strips together. My colours are very different from this photo, so hope to have a finished top to show you next time!
Happy quilting, Sue.
That will be a lovely quilt.....
ReplyDeleteHope the shoulder improves so you can sew......
So will you have charcoal where the pattern has white? Looks like a nice project. Hope your shoulder is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteHope your shoulder feels better soon. You chose a great pattern for a quick but very modern looking quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like that design. Very fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, be careful with the shoulder. I've been in therapy for mine since September of last year! Finally getting better.
