::Good-Bye Junuary::

June 21, 2011 By Katie

First day of Summer and the sun has finally made an appearance in Seattle.

I did make it outside to work in the yard a bit and opened up the doors to mop so I could baste my appropriately named Dreamin’ of Summer Quilt.  Although it is made of flannel so maybe I should stick the word Seattle in its name somehow.

The blocks are left overs as I am trying hard to stick it out on finishing up dropped projects around here.  I think I’m done though, my brain is bubbling with too many new ideas.

Effervescent bubbles were suggested as quilting and I think I might start bigger at the bottom and go smaller as they raise and blow away.  That’s theory though, so don’t quote me.

Seeing as last day of school is today, sewing will take a back seat and slow down.

I loaded up the classes however, cause a girl has got to get out.

Hope you’re all getting some sewing time too.

    oh oh…..I have a question. When you pinned that quilt, did you pin randomly or is that the percursor of your quilting motion lines? I noticed that the pins curve up, sweep out and are in the most wonderful pattern.

    Is that by accident or on purpose?

      Funny. So I sit in the middle and work my way out when basting and this is the pattern I tend to develop.

    I like the pattern you managed with the pins – you should follow them for your quilting 🙂
    Good luck on your finishing jaunt. X

    Took me a minute to figure out ‘Junuary’ ~ very cute. We had fabulous weather in Portland yesterday too! it got all the way to 82 degrees!
    Love the way the pins have a path on the quilt ~ looks really tranquil, tho I’m sure it wasn’t necessarily that way putting them in.
    Happy sunshine while it lasts!

    I was wondering about the pin pattern as well. Can’t wait to see the bubbles.

    Your pins look super close together. How far apart do you pin? How long did it take you? (this is probably why I keep putting off doing my own quilting…)

      I’m a little obsessive with my pinning. I go about every 3-4 inches working my way out from the middle.

    Yay for the sunshine finally 😉

    Love this quilt! (And flannel on a summer quilt here in Seattle seems so appropriate, especially this year! 🙂
