More photos



Again some photos of the BOM Houses quilt in progress.  Better colors but not still the real (no good light in this days here).  These are the blocks I made with the scraps of the blocks. I want  to add  them to the border. They are 4" square and are really cute. The idea , as I said , is to mix  randomly pieces of  roofs fabrics and these blocks. Hope the photos can give you  the sensation  of the layout.   




By the way , also  the butterfly blocks are growing on my design wall. I have an idea for the border of this quilt too. But is too early for this...next time!

Decision

I'm trying to decide what kind of fabrics to use for the sashing and the border of the BOM Houses project.
 As usually my helper puts her own touch to the layout and adds interest to the whole work....
...as you can see two blocks are again to be finished  (on the last row) and one is totally to make , but the blocks already done are enough to have an idea of the final effect.  
 

The idea is to use the light blue fabric for the sashing with some colorful cornerstones and free size pieces of the roofs fabrics for the border with the random add of little colorful blocks as a remind of the side of the houses.


...this the idea...the progress will come...

Striped Fabrics






 This afternoon I have played with some striped fabrics in bright and  sorbet colors. I have made some sampler blocks to try three different construction techniques . Mitred corner blocks , half square strip blocks and an original kind of log cabins. I'm going to plane a new class to teach after the summer vacation and this blocks are perfect for a new autumn project ...

Pencil case


From the A Spoonful of Sugar blog a very easy tutorial to make this useful pencil case. I made it in two different colors ... the green one is that I like most... green is my color!


But the red and blue version with Denyse Schmidt fabrics is also nice...maybe good as a present for a friend.
