Tortoise and the Hare

I've got two projects on the design wall right now, a quilting "tortoise and hare" situation.  The September Nurture circle blocks are on the right.  Made from low volume and red/purple scraps I got them done relatively quickly last night.


The tortoise in this case is a top I am s.l.o.w.l.y. getting together to show off novelty fabrics.  I love the way it is looking and I am halfway there, but because each block has to be custom assembled it is taking its time.  Currently I can make about 1 block per 45 minutes or about 1 column per day.  Slowly but surely...


I'm done with work for another week and looking forward to some good sewing time I hope you are, too!  In closing, enjoy this picture of Rey demonstrating how NOT to sit like a lady :)

  2. I love those Crosscut blocks for your Nature circle - I participated in the Crosscut QAL and loved the results. The novelty fabric blocks look like a great way to show off fun fabrics - and your photo of Rey just made me laugh!

  3. The design with the novelty prints is outstanding! I was part of the Crosscut QAL and plan to make another one day (next year?). Your work is beautiful.

  10. You have some cute novelty fabrics there. Rey is obviously one very "cool" cat.

  11. I love your tortoise! I can see doing this with T-shirts as the focus fabric - just way more interesting than T-shirts in a grid.
