In working on the
LLS quilt, I knew I was going to need a design wall so that I could see all of the fabulous blocks y'all sent me and decide how they would best fit together. I bought some batting and went on a search for some foam board or something else that I could cover in batting and prop up against a wall. When I found what I wanted at Lowe's, it was too big to fit in my car and I had wasted a week of sewing time. Necessity being the mother of invention, I just taped the batting to the wall in my dining room. I was so excited to get started. Here is a shot of the first blocks on the wall.
After some playing around, I came up with this combo for quilt #1 (Yes, there will be more than one LLS quilt). It's called "I Spy, Hopscotch". The center of each of the blocks has something in it; chicken, frog, crab...you get the idea.
Quilt #2 doesn't have a name yet and I'm still playing with the layout, so I'll share that one later.
This morning, I walked downstairs to find this.
Did I mention that I used masking tape instead of duct tape? What was I thinking?
Okay, maybe not a "debacle", but I love that word and rarely get a chance to use it.
Join me next time for more on my LLS quilt progress. Y'all come back now, ya hear? (This morning, I'm full of comedy and references to classic tv. You'll have to excuse me. :) )
