In the mean time a new quilt project is well on the way.


Brown, yellow, red and orange and the customary Kona Cotton - white.


There has been a flurry of (extra careful  - thanks for the timely warning!) rotary cutting, machine piecing, and layout re-arranging.


More soon.

  1. Yes...be super careful with that rotary cutter. I love the trimmings shot though Rita. Fabulous remains.

  2. My rotary cutter bit me a few weeks ago. Not fun, but beats scissors! Love those colors. I'm fawning over blacks, brights yellows, and reds right now. My husband thinks I'm bonkers.

  4. Oh I hear enough rotary cutter horror stories while I'm at work (at the quilt shop) so I try to be as careful as I possibly can! Makes me shudder just thinking about it!

  6. Ooo, Rotary blades and kitchen knives make me nervous lately. I had a particularly bad accident while chopping lettuce last week. All is better now, I hope I learned my lesson. It really took a toll on my quilting projects.

    That project looks great, can't wait to see the finished product!

  7. Every time I think I've learned my rotary cutter lesson, I do something else! Oh well, at least I'm a walking example to my sewing sisters! Beautiful colors, and I can't wait to see the end result!!

  8. I save those little strips and use them in place of ribbon on packages, and also dump them in a bin and during the winter, crochet them together for all sorts of things. Love your color choices, makes me think about color a new way.

  11. Don't you just love Kona Cotton. I feel a lot of quilters don't know about it. And although it doesn't have the great 'feel' like a Moda fabric or a Northcott fabric has....it quilts up so nice. I used it in the third quilt I made along with fabrics I bought 22 years ago to make my girls twin dresses and never did.

  12. I love the colors & dots for the new quilt. Looking forward to more photos!

    I've never cut my skin with a rotary cutter, by I have used it as a manicure tool frequently!

    I told my family I want a Klutz glove for my birthday. All these photos of sliced fingers I've seen in blogland lately are freaking me out! And as clumsy as I am, it is probably just a matter of time!
