Touching Base

After even more tweaking,

THIS is the final layout 

for my colorwash quilt top.

(shown here with each square

securely pinned on the design wall)

And later in the week,

this is how that same design wall looked.

All 285 squares are now safely clipped together

and ready to sew when time permits.

It feels so good to reach this point in the process.

I had a bit of time to work on blocks 

for my next LQS class sample (January 2019)

and I used these bits and pieces as leader-enders.

The contents of this box,

along with another huge stack of pinned pairs,

will slowly but surely become 

Dumpster Diving 4.0 aka 'Tis the Season.

(actual design still to be decided)

The quilt will not be ready for use this year

but these pieces WILL become a quilt top 

before year end.

And with a few minutes of stitching here and there

over the past few weeks,

all of the kaleidoscope centers for 

Someday is Now

(inspired by Sujata Shah's Organized Chaos design)

are sewn and laid out on the design wall.

I've added corners and sewn the first two rows together.

Only six more rows to go . . .

Little Man will be here this weekend

for his monthly sleepover visit

and I don't know about you,

but I cannot believe Thanksgiving

is happening next week!
