The block this week is called Brick Pavement: March on Washington. It commemorates the march on Washington prior to Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. There was a parade, mad men (really angry men, actually) and a white horse. Read the blog for more!
I had trouble early in the day figuring out what I wanted to do...so many possibilities. I took a break and went with a friend to one of our favorite shops in Purcellville, VA, WebFabrics! Yummy! We got fabric for a workshop we are taking soon. THEN, this fabulous black/white plaid fabric jumped into my hands, followed by a lovely black on black floral, and about 8 other fat quarters and a charm pack that I NEED for this project. (I think I'll have enough for 5 more quilts in these colors by the end of the year!)
The plaid and floral inspired me and this is the result for week 9:
I used the tip I learned from this same friend at a recent quilt retreat: You can't use too many pins. I'll add that I find you can't iron too much!
Gorgeous new fabrics you have there my friend. I have that black fabric in purple and am using it in my GC project. Seems we do shop at the same stores after all huh!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would not be surprised at some similar fabrics cropping up amongst us! I did not let myself look at purples, I bet it's lovely in purple. Hmmmm.
