Carli The Quilter

Hi Everyone, I have been unsuccessful in posting any of my new work since early June when I posted last. Google Suite upgrade has changed many things and settings, etc have been disrupted. But now, after muddling through, I've found that now Blogger allows adding photos directly from Google Photos. Well that is an improvement. But I missed the memo! 😀 This quilt is for my son and he's an Arborist so he wanted prints of a manly color and without too many girly fabric, so I had to dig deep. I love this pattern Wonky Rail Fence from Sujata Shah's book Cultural Fusion Quilts. I need 42 16 inch blocks to be ready for a flimsy. This quilt has a deadline, Dec 25th!! So I've been using up the pre-cut, pre-sewn main strips and working on individual blocks in between all my other quilting projects. You can kinda see how it will eventually look from the photo below. I recommend her book! And on other notes, I've started the Purple Quilt, the 2 Blue Quilts and been happily han...

These times are stressful for sure. I've begun restricting how much news I read and watch! I am feeling like I need to just get on with some special people quilt projects. We are living in times that the prey sought by this COVID 19 is US!!! So telling the most important people how you feel. LOVE can be expressed in so many ways. Crafting, sewing and quilting has always been the way I express myself. So Rail Fence done using Sujuta Shah's method outlined in her fabulous book. The cover quilt is my favorite! So here goes, the happy, heartfelt Rail Fence big picks of lights and dark fabric for what will end up measuring 116 inches square. And gor thise if you not following me on Instagram @carlithequilter will not know about the County Clair hand pieced blocks I've also begun in next post. Happy Quilting!!
