From Little Things...Progress

* NOTE: GIVEAWAY COMING!! Do you like fabric??? I hope so. I am still working on the details, so 'stay tuned'!!! :)


In my last post, I shared my fabrics and pattern for the Quilting Book Club assignment. Well, I found my tree trunk fabric.

QBC Progress

This purple shot cotton is perfect. It plays well with the other fabrics and has purples, reds and pinks within it. Black fabric was too strident for me and all the browns I tried didn't work.

QBC Progress

I really love this tree trunk. It is stylisticly appropriate with the pictorial, playful pattern and fabrics. (Yes, I used a permanent marker to draw around my pattern)

QBC Progress

I spent several hours cutting, double checking and carefully labeling. I had to figure out the pattern and the fabrics for each section and didn't want to make a mistake!!

I am still working on those pesky 124 diamonds.
