Making a Quilt Series

I’ve been busy…sewing.

The Tara Faughnan online block class released the 5th of 6 blocks February 1st, and I’ve been having such fun playing with this “triangles” method Tara teaches. But more on that in a few days when I make myself…stop.

When I visited the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild a few weeks ago, I was entranced by a guild challenge that many had finished and showed that night. They each made a series of quilts: fabric and units from the primary quilt then were used to make the second quilt, followed by the first and second quilts being used to make something creative for the third quilt.

Ah, I had finished this as yet unnamed and unquilted quilt top using reproduction 1920-1930 fabrics I had in my stash (for 20 years). And I still had a lot of fabric left.

So, this smaller top happened. It’s a good baby size, 48 by 48. I’m calling it “Bubbles.”

What to do for the third quilt in my series?

This, I think.

I’ll likely keep it to a baby quilt size, but you never can tell. There is still a fair amount of fabric left.

I can’t wait to show you my design wall whenI finish up with the “triangle” project in a few days. Then I will return to the above quilt project until I can “call it a day” for using up these fabrics.
