WIP Wednesday

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the sporadic non fabric-y posting but life has unfortunately been sporadic and non fabric-y for the past few weeks. Anyhow remember all the Nubee quilt action/block making and my my last WIP post? I have updates for you!

I mentioned I had wanted to make a mod mosaic block like Elizabeth Hartman's. But i guess I wanted it a little more crazy, a little less structured? So I just kind of went for it and this is what I came up with:

improv mod mosaic block
I have to say I am in love :-)
Then I went ahead and spent about 30 minutes moving blocks around trying to come up with a layout. And I have to say I am horrible at this game. This will be my last sampler quilt for a long while.

All the pretty blocks made for me from wonderful sewers from all over!
I spent a good chunk of time cutting some strips and then went to work adding the sashing! I have one row done, but I think this will come together very quick. I am excited to get the top done so I can practice some Angela Walters aided FMQ skills.

What are you working on? I am headed over to Lee's to check out everyone else's WIPs and you should too!

    Love! I'm getting a very stained-glass vibe from all of this (especially the top, obvi') and love your color palette here!

    I really like your choice of colors. That mosaic block is a good way to use up some scraps.

    You have chosen some lovely block designs for your sampler quilt, the stained glass block is great :o) I'm making a sampler quilt too so will have to think about arranging all the blocks soon...
