BACK TO THE QUILTS
The whole idea of this blog was to focus on completing the many quilt tops I have piled up over the past 5 years, and some even going back further, before I complete my orbit in the universe. This was going to happen along side my self-taught exploration of the Zen-like slow stitching of the Japanese art of Sashiko. I'm thinking about making some Japanese knot bags which I can decorate with my my sashiko projects. I also have some precut quilt kits that I'll be hand piecing as the urge hits. Probably in between sashiko projects. And, I came across a stack of my own quilt designs yesterday and spent a bit of time considering which ones I really, really, really would like to see completed, even if I do have to cut them myself.
January block assembled.
Well, it's just after lunch on Saturday and I've finished the construction of the first month of my TQ22. It looks like a place mat at this point. It's 15.5 inches wide and 13.5 inches high. I'll do some quilting on it and embroider the month on it to finish it off. I'm going to indicate significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries with a bead. The blocks are going to be joined together 3 across and 4 down. It's going to turn out bigger than I would would like for a wall hanging but I'm sure I'll find somewhere to hang it eventually. When I get the furniture moved back to where I originally had it, there might be space big enough on one wall. We moved the furniture and took up the rug when My Darling became disabled so it was safer for him to move about. It's a big job for me to put it all back. 11 more to go. Better get going on February now.
