This and That

Combining inspiration from an Instagram photo

with the new label maker I received for Christmas,

I have re-done the labels on my resource boxes.

I like this a lot.

(sadly they don't make paint chip sample cards

for groups like Brights on Black or Christmas . . . )

I also updated the labels for my crumb boxes.

There was, of course, some much-needed

sorting and refining of the stashed bits and pieces.

After hours of doodling this design on paper

I finally got brave enough to stitch it 

on four large practice pieces.

The effort convinced me I can handle 

basic liberated spirals although I want to 

do several more practice pieces

before I start using them on a real quilt.

At Saturday's local quilters potluck,

the 2017 Davies Manor Mystery Quilt was shared.

I am going to play along with this one since

there are at least five different ways to set the blocks

AND 

we are being encouraged to use the base blocks

to come up with our own alternative setting.

THAT part appeals to me.

Dark = six different deep purples

Medium = six different acid greens

Light = six different black on white prints

I won't start cutting or stitching on this project

until May but I have my colors ready to go

and they all came straight from the stash!
