Working Away…

We had a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas day.  How ‘bout you? 

Santa brought me a new chair for my computer desk and I’ve been trying it out tonight.  I’ve been working away on this next pattern and it is a beast!

It’s already up to seven pages and it will most likely end up at around nine pages.  That’s just for the one size of quilt. Here’s a screen shot of what I’m working with:

Here you can see the seven pages laid out.  Underneath I keep notes and other reference material. 
Because of how this quilt is designed and constructed, the pattern needs plenty of full-color, detailed illustrations.  It’s not a difficult quilt to put together, but the block placement and row alignment are key here.

I’ve had a lot of questions about this pattern – I’m close to finishing and hope to have it available in a few days.

Thanks for stopping by!

Up To My Elbows

Anyone else up to their elbows in projects right now?  Sheesh!  At least this is one that I can cross off.  Last night I finished piecing the top to my second Stars Abound quilt.  I still need to decide on a backing and binding fabric for this one, but that will have to wait. 

I have to say that while it’s cold and blustery outside, it was delightful to be working with such vibrant fabrics.

Now on to the next thing!  ‘Tis the season, I suppose.
