Cerulean Blue is officially done after having the binding sewn down. I am officially done after having my husband out of town for three days. He is back now though, and I have a three day weekend coming up to recover from the busyness.
I spent the afternoon happily turning fabric scraps into Swiss cheese. There were a bunch of deconstructed shirts lurking in the bin with the usual scraps and several new GO dies still in wrappers. I focused on the blue of course, so you'll see more of these scraps soon enough.
My goal is to have the laundry room cleared out in time for the new dryer to arrive. I am HOPING that we have a new dryer by time the weekend ends. Otherwise I'll start going door to door to borrow dryers. I've got two friends lined up who will be happy to lend me some dryer space in case we run out of underwear before the new appliances arrive.
Wow! That was amazingly fast from start to finish! And I LOVE your scrappy blue binding!!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely. Amazing, isn't it that a pile of seemingly unrelated scraps can become something so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYay for Cerulean Blue!
ReplyDeleteYay for having Kurt home
Yay for getting a new dryer soon!
Gotta love the power of three!
Absolutely love it! And yes, When you have time--I would love a tutorial on strip quilting.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and extremly fast...I wish I could machine quilt...I hand quilt all of mine and it always takes forever ´cause I´m such a slow poke
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, I'm still working on my blue quilt, hoping for plenty of time over the weekend to work on it
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, so fresh looking. I've been without a dryer since the summer. It was okay in the summer because everything dried outside, but during the winter I've had everything drying on a clothes horse in front of the kitchen fire. It's okay, but takes two days to get each load dry. Trouble is, we have a combination washer/dryer and the washer is still fine, so we don't feel like splashing out on a new one just yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I can't believe how quickly you were able to make this start to finish. My Rainbow challenge is only a small piece and I'm making such slow progress.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela,
ReplyDeleteyour quilt is so beautiful. My Rainbow challenge is only a blog with 49 blue scaps. If it's possible today I'll take a photo an put it on my blog.
Have a nice weekend

I have pulled a pile of scraps to start my challenge for the month, but I am not finding a lot of blues....but I'll keep looking. Love your quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this scrappy quilt. So pretty and a wonderful way to use up scraps. Thanks for the fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteHey!!! Congrats on the completion of your quilt!! looks great!
ReplyDeleteQuiltingly Yours

Scraps are amazing, so humble but when sewn into a quilt so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd in this case, so quick.
Is that the small tumbler die? I think I need that one and the small Drunkard's Path die. That should hold me for a while now. :)
ReplyDeleteJust discovered this blog and the 2011 color challenge. Sounds like loads of fun. I work on so many projects as I'm sure most of us do....what is one more. lol
ReplyDeleteLove the blue scrappy you whipped together.
