Using only blues, greens, and light neutrals from my scraps and stash, the resulting combinations always amaze me.
Next time.
I'll pull them out for another week of work later.

I began making half square triangles for two Ocean Waves quilts last March. I blogged about the monotony of making thousands of hst's, but if I did them a few hundred at a time, the goal would be reachable. After all, I set a two year time timeline for making these quilts. This past week I pulled the box of several hundred finished hst's, and began to make blocks. Using only blues, greens, and light neutrals from my scraps and stash, the resulting combinations always amaze me. The going went well for the most part. Although there was that time when my seam ripper thought I was getting too catty. There is more satisfaction in seeing this closer-to-being-a-quilt layout than in constantly working on hst's. But more hst's are needed. Next time. For now the boxes and finished rows are going back into the closet.
I'll pull them out for another week of work later.

Six colors for the binding chosen and attached... Add this quilt to My Favorites list. End of the Rainbow
75" x75" Bonneyville Mills provided the setting for my latest finished quilt made from a pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew called Dottie. I used Modern Neutrals by Amy Ellis for my fabric. As I already have a quilt named Dottie and one named Hey Dot, I clearly needed to think of a new name. I first thought of the name Millstones, because don't they look somewhat like millstones? Okay, maybe only slightly...but they look good beside millstones. However, not wanting to be burdened by the thought of a millstone hanging around my neck, I have chosen a different name. This quilt will be called Water Wheels. Water Wheels
