A taste of things to come: opaque, milky white.
Lime green, the blue of a blue-flavored Icee (who really knows what that's supposed to taste like).
Sherbet. Lemony yellow, bubblegum blue, bright orange, strawberry pink.
Citrus fruit. Tangerine. Pink grapefruit. Lemon. Kumquat.
Hard candy. Strawberry. Grape. Lavender.
Chocolate. Chocolate coins, chocolate covered peanuts, swirls on a piece of hand-dipped chocolate.
It's hard to believe this project is over a year old. I have quite a few projects for show and tell, so sit back, relax, and read on!
Is it heresy that this knitter is posting about quilts when the East Coast knitblogging contingent is converging at MDSW this weekend? :-)
The thing about quilts I've found more satisfying than knits (horrors, such blasphemy) is that you get a finished object in less than half the time. This quilt? Took me four weeks. Total. (Uh, Wendy put your hand down.)
Cold temps earlier in April provided me with the perfect excuse to throw this on top of our comforter. The Polar Bear I live with didn't complain for once. Maybe he's getting used to having a stack of quilts piled at the foot of the bed?
Yes, it's more Amy Butler squares. More, more, more! This time around I'm using fabric from her Temple Flowers and Charm collection. These came from eBay, part of a huge set that included Ginger Bliss, Belle, and Gypsy Caravan. I lucked out on that particular auction. eBay is pure eVil.
