Christmas QAL


Today, the 2nd Saturday of the month is Quilt Times QAL
I wasn't able to start this morning with everyone else. First I had to go pick green beans that are out in the garden, doing very nicely this year. Nothing like what I had to go through last year. I posted about the groundhog that was eating my garden last year here
this years green beans
Then I worked the Quilt Show in Tulsa. So here are a few pictures I want to share





So when I finally was able to sit down and sew, I just did one block. I wanted to see what it would look like. After seeing what the others had accomplished I had to get at least one done.


This is it. 
But After I made it I thought what would it look like if I turned the four patch. So here is the same block but with the four patch laying on top of it but turned.


Which way do you like? I need input!
 I can not decide which direction I like the best.
Thank you
Kat

    I think I prefer the first layout cos the white provides a really sharp contrast to the red and the black fabrics. On the other hand, if you put several blocks together, the second layout will probably be a bit more "mellow". There, that was no help at all, was it?

    Just stopping by to say Hi!... from Find a Friend Friday at Sew Many Ways.

    With the first layout, the eye is drawn to the center of the block but in the second layout, I find my eye drawn to the four patch, if this is going to be a quilt with a variety of different blocks, I'd go with the first layout.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
