As this project has absolutely no planning to it, I went on EQ7 to look at some approximate sizes. I am a bit undecided on how big I should make this quilt. For the time being I am aiming for a large single bed size. Spent several hours then, mucking around with one of my other quilts on EQ7, trying to decide what design to quilt over it!
This is how far I got today
I have about 70 units so far...long way to go! As you can see I am just winging it, alternating making lighter and darker units without any real plan to it...I think I might start to sew the units together into rows to make this more manageable as I go along.
Apart from that I was going to mark my Wholecloth today, but now have run out of time...I continue to get side tracked with different projects and ideas. For example, our guild has put out a challenge to produce Mandalas by July so I have been looking into this...frustrating plus...for the life of me, I cannot draw them properly and going on the Internet is a nightmare as there are millions of ideas. Decided today that I will continue on my Wholecloth as originally planned and not participate in anything else I see. As for the Mandala...will re-visit this and start with a wreath and build some borders around it. As I am going to FMQ the Mandala I will have to keep it simple and pay attention to the open areas, I think...need to play around a little bit more with that.
Very frustrating day...probably does not help that it is humid and sticky in this neck of the woods.

Your triangle quilt is going to be worth it and gorgeous in the end! It looks like a good quilt to work on a little at a time! I'm anxious to see your whole cloth quilt! Something I've been kicking around in my head lately!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of triangles to go, but I think it is worth while, I love it and look forward to see your finished top. I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteThis will be beautiful when finished! It's already looking fantastic.
