With Mystery #3 done and delivered yesterday (more on that later) I'm starting another, very quick, quilt. It's for my brother Wayne, who according to my sister-in-law Monica, loves all kinds of sports. I chose All Kinds quilt block and found a multi-sports themed fabric. At first my design was 25 blocks, half of them All Kinds, a somewhat complicated block. Due to time crunch I modified the quilt design to 9 larger blocks, with one central All Kinds block. The remaining eight blocks are simplified variations of All Kinds, which should be quick to make. I'm paper-piecing all the blocks.
Last night I washed/dried the fabric and drew my paper-pieced patterns. Tonight I'll make the All Kinds block--the most difficult. With the new design I may need a little more of one of the fabrics. I'll have to see in the morning after I piece some of the other blocks. Joann's is sure to close early on Christmas Eve.
My deadline is looming, so I've got to boogie!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
