I have spent the last couple of days choosing fabric and cutting pieces for this quilt from the new book by Karla Alexander that I got on our Boxing Day spree. When I first cut them out I wasn't sure I liked the colors but now that some of them are put together I'm feeling better about them. The blank spaces will be filled with blocks tipping the opposite way with the oranges on the inside and greens on the outside. I only had time to finish one.
I'm not sure what color I will use for the border. I have lots of the orange and the beiges. I don't think I'll use the beige but the orange might be all right. If I can match the dark blue in the center blocks I'd like that with a narrow orange inner border. I have a big piece of dark blue but it's probably not the right shade. Drat, I may have to go fabric shopping again.

Aw...fabric shopping. Doesn't that just make your day! ;-) Any chance that you'll be stopping at your thrift store too?
Love the look of Karla's liberated quilts. You're is looking quite divine already, Joyce! Happy stitching...and shopping!
It's going to be a fun quilt *s*
Love those tippy blocks! They are the best kind of wonky!
Hi, Joyce - you mentioned your sitemeter. I watch a couple of dozen blogs using Google Reader; most blogs (including yours) show up complete on that screen, while others only show a little bit. If I read your blog only in Google Reader, does that mean your sitemeter doesn't count me? Is it better for you if I come over to your blog and read you there? Do you win points for reader-counts? I can do that easily if it's better for you (and other bloggers).

It's looking great. Are the blocks constructed like a log cabin?
I love the look of those blocks, & same question as Ali, are they done on a foundation or like log cabins?
