I thought that I would try to do
Judy s' design wall Monday again this year. Since I have more time now, I might be able to keep something on the wall to report, other than one or two thing a year. I presently am the quilt mother for my guild's opportunity quilt. This is our 2010 opportunity quilt that I hope the top gets finished in the next month. I am so ready for this quilt to go to a quilter. It started out to be a project that sounded interesting. Last year I presented 4 quilts to the guild. I did not think that they would pick this one, due to that it is paper pieced. The problem was that not many guild members like to paper piece. Then I thought that it would look the best in hand dyed fabric. The problem was that hand dyed fabric would cost the guild to much money to make. So I learned how to dye the fabric myself. Which turned out to be pretty cool, so now I have a new skill that I enjoy very much. Its not a difficult pattern but it does have 27 pieces in each block and not all the blocks are the same color arrangement. Anyway the blocks are almost finished, just waiting to receive about 4 more blocks from a member and I will be able to put the top together completely. The pattern is from the magazine '
Quiltmaker' the September/October 09 issue. Thanks for looking at my blog, go see all the other great post on Judy's blog of other design wall Mondays.

That's going to be one spectacular quilt!
It is going to be a wonderful quilt and you should make a lot of money on it.
This quilt is a stunner. I know what you mean about paper piecing. I always find it takes so much more time than regular piecing.
This will be gorgeous! Using paper pieced blocks on a group project is a good idea...they will all be the same size for sure!
I can't wait to see it all together!
Wow!!! And wow again!! The movement in that quilt is wonderful. It feels like it is spinning! Fab-you-luss!
that is going to be one stunning quilt when it's done. I stared at it for a while, just beautiful!!
that is one great quilt. love the colors and the movement. I have a couple of quilts that I want to be done but I learned so much doing them.
Wow! That is amazing.
Wow the quilt is amazing! I have been thinking about getting into dying my own fabric for over a year now. Did you enjoy the process?
