Hi,


This my first attempt at blogging and I don't know if I am ready for it. However that never stopped me before.

Melody Johnson invited her followers to Quilt Along with Melody in February as she uses up her stash of printed fabrics. I have a couple of boxes of floral fabric left from my colorwash days and I decided to join the fun. It isn't so much fun if you can't share what you are doing, so here I am.

This was my first arrangement when I got the blocks upon the wall. Not too impressive, but very reminiscent of
colorwash.

This where I am now after making a bunch more darker blocks. I am still working on more dark blocks

I am beginning to like it and I will be so happy to have those empty boxes. I think that there will be more than one quilt from this but that is OK. Some of these fabrics are at least 13-15 years old and there are almost no pieces big enough to make anything but a scrap quilt and I have made a lot of those. For colorwash/watercolor quilts you need a lot of different fabrics but not so much of one fabric so I bought mostly 1/2 to 1 yard of anything. It is good have my focus on using the fabric.

I can see that I am going to have to spend some time learning how to blog and move things around. I think I am also going to have to learn to take better pictures.
