I had a great day sewing on Friday as I participated in the Black Friday Sew-In hosted by Sandy of the Quilting for the Rest of Us podcast. My first goal was to get the binding on Jack's quilt, which I did before lunch. I then pressed and started cutting my black and white strips for the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt called Easy Street. But I am getting a little ahead of myself. Let's start with my fabric choices - I made one change from the colors Bonnie suggested, so am using pink, green, and bright/aqua blues, with a constant grey and black & white backgrounds. Here's a picture of my fabrics.
So, after lunch with my mom and the kids and haircuts for the kids (the only Black Friday sale I took advantage of), I got all my strip sets for part 1 sewn together and pressed.
After dinner, I went back down to the sewing room and started on the 4-patch units. I finished 105, and am planning to make a large lap size quilt instead of the queen size that Bonnie made, so I figure I will need somewhere in the 130-150 range of 4 patches. I hope to get the rest made this week before clue #2 comes out.
