Learning Curves on my Sunday

Midnight at the Oasis .... cont.

This one is definitely taking me outside of my comfort zone.

I was so pleased with how my Marcelle Quilt turned out

 that I am scared that I am going to screw this one up!

This is where I am up to at the moment.  Almost half way through the needle turn on this border.

I am loving the 'pop' of purple and hope I can work some more in as I go.

My border fabric is fraying really bad so I thought that I should add the next border to stop this.  I knew I wanted a dark border but kept doubting myself.  (This border will have bright applique on it). So I asked my Instagram friends (I'm 'lilabellelane' if you want to find me) for some help. Here is the pattern for your reference.  Check out all the Churn Dash blocks. They finish at 3" - pure madness!!

Most opinions on Instagram were for the dark, which was my first choice. A few are also saying light, which makes me doubt myself again. So (for the time being) I have run with the dark aka black. I think I like how it looks but I wont really know until I start putting the applique on. Must finish that inner border first though :)

I have no idea how this quilt is going to turn out, it is going to be a real learning curve for me.

Enjoy your Sunday

Midnight at the Oasis

Couldn't help but notice on Saturday that my cutting table was a mess.

When I was cleaning up it dawned on me that I hadn't made

any blocks for my Tula Pink Scrap project for a bit. The one I made the

grand statement here that I was going to do one block a day for

100 days.  So I started diving into my scrap containers and preparing

some blocks.  All was going well (about 8 blocks cut) but there is a pattern 

sitting on my table that has been haunting me for a few weeks now.  

I took it to Millrose with me last weekend and walked around many 

times trying to find some fabrics.  These three came home with me :o)

Meet my new project

"Midnight at the Oasis"

designed by Jen Kingwell of Amitie Textiles in Melbourne

I am going to "channel" my inner Susan here and give the needle turn a real go.
(Yay! Circles that look like circles)

and curse at the "y" seams!

So far everything except the three prints above is coming from my 

scrap baskets. LOVE using my scraps.

Today my girls decided to have a Toy Story marathon

so I decided to join them.

After Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 I have this :o)

So, another project added to the list. Just as well I like

to work with a variety of projects and styles.

Better go, The Block is on.

Hugs, Sharon
