Abundance of Creativity

A bit of a delay in posting as I have had a busy teaching and talk schedule. And the camera would not upload, but all sorted now!

I had a quick fix of quilting this week by sewing along on Lori's Abundance mini Quilt. I usually sew bigger projects, so it was great to be able to go from soup to nuts in a week!

After quilting!

And my second finish this week has been the String Snowball Quilt that I showed before Christmas. I am so pleased with this. Chris did a great job with the quilting as usual! Thanks Chris!

As much as I love the over all pattern of this quilt, I really like the way that the randomly chosen fabrics work together:

Things that I would not place together in a normal block, just look such fun in this:

 

 

If you want to explore some creativity this weekend why not make a string block or two from your scraps, or sew Lori's Mini Quilt?

I am linking to Lori so you can see all the other Abundance quilts!

    I love your predominate use of blues in this.  It's a truly gorgeous version of Abundance!
