Here's my basket-a-day. I've noticed I need to add more lights to the quilt, so I pulled a light peach for the background - really it's a flesh tone. I was having so much fun....
I made two more! Both of these have that wonderful Kaffe pencil print background.
And the group shot! Every day I rearrange the blocks a bit on the design wall, trying to balance the color and value. I can see now that I need to do more rearranging. I can't tell you how helpful it is when making a quilt to take a photograph and look at it on the computer. You can see much more this way than just standing back and looking.
Do you see what else I added? I placed a couple of sold blocks at the bottom, along with a striped filler triangle. Trying to figure out the edges of the quilt. When Alex Anderson made a quilt like this, she used nine-patches around the outside edge. I'll stare at it awhile longer before I decide.
I'm still working on the appliqué of hexies! LOTS and LOTS of hexies!
Tonight I'm going to our local guild's Christmas party....at Flavin Glover's house! I hear she decorated with her quilts - can't wait! Full report tomorrow.
