My Hope Valley quilt is quilted, bound, and washed. Try as I might I could not get my camera to capture the depth of these colors. I’m completely drawn to these fabrics…must be those 60’s and 70’s memories…and yet these fabrics are fresh and modern as well.
I’m really not supposed to be working on this today…but I’m drawn to these baskets as well. I had the idea recently to arrange a block on my sewing table right before I leave the sewing room for the day. That way, I can’t do anything the next day until I’ve completed the block that’s ready to sew…this keeps me progressing on projects that might not be my main focus at the moment.
I really am trying to finish up some things in progress…but since tomorrow is National Quilting Day, I decided to let myself start another quilt (again, the photos don’t really capture these fabrics…probably should have waited until later in the day to take these pictures). This one’s been brewing in my mind for a little while, and I think I finally have the fabrics to make it happen…going to use some Hope Valley, Modern Meadow, Timber, Amy Butler, and Michael Miller Polka Dots…Hope you have a happy National Quilting Day!

I love the colors of your quilt also! Wasn't that a HMP pattern? It looks great. And I love your new collection… I can't believe they are from such a wide assortment of designers! They blend so well… can't wait to see what you do!!

Hi Sherri! My issue of Cotton Time arrived today, thank you so much for the info. I got the biggest kick out of it opening to the right instead of to the left. Who knew? What fabulous inspirational colors and patterns. Thanks again for posting about it! Have a great day. LOVE the quilt!

Your off-kilter Hope Valley quilt turned out so beautifully! I haven't bought any of that fabric collection, so I love seeing how wonderful it looks in your quilt. I am drawn to the baskets you've been making lately too, so it's fun to see another one laid out and ready when you are. I better work on some quilts on National Quilt Day – thanks for the reminder!

The Hope valley quilt looks fabulous. Do you always wash your quilts when you finish them? I've just finished a quilt and am not sure whether to wash it or not.
