WIP: Wednesday Angled Frames,Traveling Stash

I'm in the midst of working on about mmm, a hundred projects. One that is coming fairly quickly and I have loved working on is my Angled Frames quilt. I started sewing it following the guidelines in the quilt a long on Flickr. You can come and play/sew too! It's part of the Old Red Barn quilt a long group.  DeeRoo G came up with this great design and her tutorial is here. You use long strips of fabric and the sewing and cutting go quite quickly. I could see how you could cut and sew one in an afternoon. Here are the strips and colors I've been working with



My table is covered with aqua and I love it. I've always thought it was a nice color but it turns out I really like it. I had a little private swap and my partner made me a gorgeous draw string bag that had a patchwork, improv-y aqua solids strip in the middle and it was perfect. Really, perfect. Who knew I had such a thing for it? This is how its coming along



I've been snapping these with my camera phone and the colors are not quite accurate. I've even edited them a bit but the fundamental hue recording is just wrong and the value difference is too big for a limited camera. I'll pull out my big camera when it's a bit further along to get accurate colors.

I also won one of the Traveling Stash boxes, hurray! I've decided to keep the charm pack so I went shopping to replace it and came home with Wishes by Moda and a few basics that were on sale.

On a sad note, the winner of my Hoop Sew Mama Sew giveaway has not contacted me or given me her email so I have to re-draw for a new winner. *update: she saw this post and we connected, yay!

  4. Your aqua fabrics are so pretty - perfect for a summer project :D I recently found a box of blue scrappy strips downstairs hidden away in a cupboard - I had been saving them for a string quilt - it would appear I have enough, so when I get a few other projects finished, I can start blueing it :D

  6. Thanks for pointing out the Angled Frames - it looks like a great alternative to a jelly roll race - or a great way to make a pieced back! I'm excited to see how yours turns out - love the color choices!

  7. Thank you for pointing out the Angled Frames pattern - it looks like a great alternative to a jelly roll race and a great way to make a quick pieced back for a quilt. Can't wait to see how yours turns out, with those colors it'll be fabulous!
