Not much to post today, as I am working on completing this quilt top for my Color Theory class on Tuesday night. Considering that I started Saturday morning, I am doing pretty good. Considering that the quilt is supposed to be COMPLETE, I am not doing so well. I have arrived at the conclusion that I will just get the top done (hopefully) but I won’t be able to get it quilted. So you can just imagine what my weekend has been like.
I also have to take this opportunity to warn you about Rowenta Focus irons. I know I paid over $100 for mine, to be my good quilting iron, and it leaks. It leaks all over what I am trying to iron. Also, I would like to have a word with the person who designed the 1/4 inch piecing foot for the Classica Husqvarna sewing machine, because a foot that has a little niche on the left side that catches on seams is pretty much useless. It is good for sewing the FIRST 1/4 inch seam, but if you have to stitch over any seams, just forget about it, unless you like jogs in your seams.
Anyway, I am pretty happy with how the quilt looks, hopefully I will get it put together!
The theme this month is “Double Complement” which means a color and the color next to it on the color wheel, and then their complements. My colors were orange, yellow-orange, blue, and blue-violet. So this is pretty much a Broncos quilt but in this house we are ok with that. If they are having a losing season we will call it a Colorado Sunset quilt.
After yesterday, go with Colorado Sunset. 😉 It looks good! Being unproductive here until everyone goes back to work/school.
Well, at least it’s not Viking colors! It is pretty, though! My Huskavarna machine is older than Joy and it’s starting to give up the ghost … I’m using another used one right now and trying to decide if I sew enough to get another machine.
I know nothing at all about sewing, which is why I find it hilarious that Husqvarna, the maker of my husband’s beloved and very rugged chainsaw, makes sewing machines. Way to diversify.
It’s beautiful! Great color choices creating movement and interest. Any pictures of the finished quilt?
It is sewn together now, but still waiting to be quilted. And I am thinking of expanding it to queen size, so that will take some work.
