Starting Over

I am starting on my Cal King Quilt since I wanted to make something for me today. I still don't have a table for my sewing room so I am back to sewing on the dining table.




I figured out the dimensions and the size of each block 19.5" so when I sew them all together they will be 19". I am following the blocks that look like Drunk Love by Denyse Schmidt. I don't have the pattern so I am just winging it myself. Basically making squares within squares.




This color pallet is just amazing and has always been my 2 favorite colors. I just love green and blue was always my favorite growing up. Well I have 3 down and 53 to go. I am not in a hurry since I will have to save some money to send this out to get quilted and right now all my money is going to fixing up the house but there is only so long I can go without having something on my bed.

My new Cal King Quilt fabric

I was getting so depressed starring at my unmade bed that had no quilt or bedspread on it ( remember the tragic ending to my previous King quilt?) so I figured out what I wanted and these are some of my coveted fabrics, Heather Bailey's Pop Garden & Bijoux and Amy Butlers Daisy Chain. I will be adding white and I think I will do squares within squares, bento box or log cabins. I have plenty of time to decide since my sewing room won't be ready for a couple of months, but these fabric make me cheery. Now just to find the right color of green to paint the walls in my room.



I needed to start the year off right. These fabrics make me happy and that is what I needed and not to be reminded of the quilt that was stolen/lost from me. If anyone has some Amy Butler Daisy Chain or Heather Bailey Pop Garden or Bijoux they would love to part with let me know since I would love more for the quilt.
