Spring- so they say

I know that “complicated” things are not really complicated. They’re just things that I don’t (yet) know how to do - but the complexities of this “blog building” are beginning to wear on me- I thought this would be simpler. The acronyms alone, honestly.

I have been able to do a fair bit of sewing. Over the past few days I have finished 2, yes count them 2 (!) quilt tops! One was a LONG block of the month project begun last summer and the other I started maybe 5 weeks ago. The LARGE one is Studio 180’s Jubilation. This quilt was a serious stretch for me. Before attempting it- I had never been able to keep those points on the triangles. I had a lot of assistance this time and I’m pretty proud of myself. If I’m able to master those triangles and flying geese and all the other bits and bobs then maybe I’ll be able to figure out how to get a comment section in here.

Studio 180 Jubliation

This is a quilt I made while taking Quilt 201 at a lovely local shop https://ohiostarquilts.com/ I used stash fabric, some from JOANN, some from a project that isn’t happening. On the way home from class last week, my water bottle leaked, and I didn’t unpack my bags until morning. That is when I saw the wet fabric and that the red wilmington print had bled onto the white. I hope it comes out. Once its quilted, I’ll do the whole color catcher thing and hope for the best

What the red really looks like (maybe I should have grabbed that thread)- and you can see the bleed!
