A post way back here got me thinking .... thinking BIG
Bali Wedding Star Quilt
It is my Biggest project to date as it will finish at 104" x 104"
8 x 8 rings and all Foundation Pieced.
8 x 8 rings and all Foundation Pieced.
The black above is my background fabric and below is the
fabric for my arches. Each arch goes dark to light. They look a little washed in this picture below.
I probably should have photographed them with the darks on top, oh well.
9 Sets of fabrics - 8 fabrics in each.
This photo below is a little better, it was taken at my LQS at the end of my "shopping trip".
I have to give HUGE thanks to Nicky at my LQS for all her assistance in helping me select my fabrics.
Above is the Quilt that was hanging in my LQS (left) and the one on the right that I found online and clinched the deal for me :o) My star points are going to be two toned, white and light blue. Here's hoping I get my points in the right spot (can you see the mistake above?) I am just waiting for my star point fabric to arrive.
OK so what you have just read above was written about 7 weeks ago and has been sitting here in Draft form in Blogger ever since. During this time I have been plodding away cutting out all the Foundation papers for my arches all the time the fabrics have been sitting here tormenting me. Then yesterday, me being me, I allowed myself to play and cut into some fabric. :0)
So far I've cut into the Yellow and Purple stacks and the rest are ironed ready to go.
So there you go, officially another start!
A BIG start.
hugs Sharon

Amazing, this quilt will be amazing
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a huge challenge and I look forward to watching you take that journey. I didnt spot the mistake until I looked really hard. If you had not mentioned that it was there I doubt that I would have seen it at all.
ReplyDeleteSharon - will be amazing - a huge project, but if anyone can do it you will. Was in your LQS today - the class was undertaking a quilt similar to your glacier Star but smaller version.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be fabulous! It looks like once you try a Judy N. pattern you have to keep going back, like an addiction lol my mum has been bitten too.
ReplyDeleteyou are insane
ReplyDeleteWow, this is going to be a real work of art! Love your fabric choices. Hope you have fun with it!! I shall enjoy watching your progress :-)
