Tuesday design wall and a little bit more

 

 

I had a hankering to make some spiderwebs,

without the fuss of making squares and kites and the whole mess.

So I cut four two-inch strips of Kaffe fabrics

and cut them into 45 degree triangles.

 

I like how these two look entirely different

just with the fabrics in a different order.

 

Not sure where these are going yet,

but it was worth a few strips of fabric to figure it out.

 

Here's a set of five 8.5 inch blocks

destined to become placemats or a table runner

or maybe a baby quilt.

 

 

Yesterday I was asked to provide a quilt or blanket

for a stillborn baby.

The family is experiencing the textbook example

of a "mixed blessing."

One baby died in utero

and the other twin survived.

 

I didn't have any unclaimed baby quilts or blankets on hand,

but I did have some yardage of printed flannel

and some pre-cut squares.

I used that self-mitreing method for this.

 

I know the pictures make the quilt seem a bit garish

but in person it is quite nice.

 

I purposely put the peace/love block in the middle

and I free motioned the baby's name on the bottom
