Guest Room Quilts: Coming together

Posted by Sara @ One Silver Thread

I've been lucky (OK, and persistent) in finding the time to work on these beauties the past week. I have 8 blocks of 48 completed and I'm so, so stoked with them. Aren't these yummy?



No really, all these black and white patterns are making my heart flutter. I'm seriously in love.




I have all my small pieces cut out and ready to stitch. I labeled my stacks so I know which is which and started sorting them a bit so the right pieces go with each other.




I also realized after jumping in that my original sketch had some measurements and other such issues that were wayyyyy off. I need to post a picture of my crazy marked up copy! I also realized that my sketch didn't explain very much either... like the fact that I'm doing 2 quilts and each one will have color reversed designs on each side. I built the sketch for my own process and threw it up here on a whim. When it's all done with I'll post a clean (correct) copy for you in case anyone wants to check it out.

Guest room quilts

I'm finally getting started on my guest room quilts - yay! I've been planning these for months, ya'll. No really - Illustrator is saying "GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!" Yep, you heard me - I design in Adobe Illustrator. Maybe it's not the absolute best method, but I'm a graphic designer and it's what I know.

And because I'm into letting you all see my down-and-dirty behind-the-scenes work, here's the pattern I've created that I'm working with:



I plan to have a double-sided quilt: One side with white background and one side with black. It's most definitely a work in progress, and we'll see soon enough whether or not I've bitten off more than I can chew. And I'm still missing all the super cute Michael Miller fabrics seen here. We'll see if they all end up being designer fabrics or if I just pull some fat quarters out from Joann's. I love me some Michael Miller, but $10 a yard may not be in the cards right now.

It's time for me to hit the cutting mat running!
