Decisions, Decisions

Confetti Blocks....

I have two choices....continue making Confetti Stars and make a Totally Confetti Star quilt. 
OR, design a quilt around what I have completed (42). 
I guess I have THREE choices...make a lap quilt.



I have plenty of lap quilts....THE WINNER IS ... design a quilt around what I have! 

The American Patchwork and Quilting 2024 Quilt-Along pattern was my inspiration.

Evening Glow.  You can read about it HERE.  (And buy the pattern.)

A quilt-along participant's example.  She did a great job!

Firing up EQ8* and digging deep into the memory banks, I deigned a similar quilt.

The Rendering from EQ8

The finished quilt will be big, 116" by 128".  With all the cold weather we've had of late, I've been wanting a larger quilt: one that hangs well-over the sides of the bed and doesn't fall off in the night with all my tossing-and-turning! 

My Progress So Far

 Doesn't look like much yet....



There are still 40 Confetti Starts (and 40 Setting blocks) to go.  The Hope was to have the top finished by the end of January....that goal has been adjusted...I hope to have all the blocks prepared by the end of the month.  I can live with that.

Showing Our Colors


Scrappy Girls Club page on Facebook and 
the National Quilting Day Facebook page are encouraging us to display our quilts for 
National Quilting Day....so I did.



The g-son helped make a sign so the neighbors
would not think I was hanging the laundry.


Behind the Scenes
It was easier than I thought it would be.
I used safety pins to pin the over lap to the quilt.

It's not too late to show your colors.
