The batting has been purchased for my Jacob's Ladder Quilt (love Spotlight's 40% off coupons), the backing has been pieced, and I can't be bothered putting it all together today.
However I still wanted to sew something. I have been loving all the arrows and feathers people have been making from different mediums and posting to Flickr. So today I purchased a pattern for a paper pieced arrow from Quiet Play and started playing with fabric scraps and colour combinations.
- my cutting table in all it's messy glory - fabric scraps, containers and colour combinations everywhere
- progress shot
- one finished arrow - measuring 3" x 12"
I am going to make a couple more, then I think these may get turned into a mini quilt for my sewing room wall.
Have a fabulous weekend
Funny how cutting up fabric and creating can be so much fun, but OH SO messy!
ReplyDeleteThat arrow rocks!!! I love it friend! Wishing you a beautiful weekend! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat arrow is so impressive, I love it.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! I couldn't make it out at first, but when you see the whole thing it is so obvious! xx
ReplyDeleteI loved the first photo of all those gorgeous fabrics on your cutting table, and that arrow is wonderful!! a mini quilt of them is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteFun photos. The arrow is a great idea.

Love the arrow - and it's good to see some of your fabric collection. How do you get 40% off coupons for Spotlight? I've been waiting to buy some batting for a while and they haven't had a sale on it. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've stored your fat quarters. I don't ever have enough at one time to store them like that but it sure looks pretty. Perhaps I shall save a 1 pound clear plastic container (strawberry container or something like that) and see if that might work in future.
