January finds me determined to finish a couple WIPs, starting with an improv quilt.
I began making blocks during two different workshops with Cindy Grisdella
The first workshop was in person on December 6, 2023.
The second workshop was virtual on September 7, 2024.
Trying to combine different blocks, especially when I have used-up most of the fabric colors from the first workshop, has been challenging.
Orange-y reds - Kona Crush - with bits of amber, aqua, and white are the quilt's center composition, from the first workshop.
I'm bordering the center with blocks from the second workshop, using Painter's Palette Aluminum as background. I began with improv triangles, some with strips of accents. Now
Now I'm making "confetti dots" - Cindy's term for sprinkles of color. These have been slow-going.
I'm disappointed with myself for not making more progress than this, but am allowing myself some grace.
The head cold I came down with last Friday, turned out to be COVID. It's been rough. I haven't felt like doing anything but lay in bed and be miserable.
Wish I could say I'd been on a fabulous trip somewhere and the virus came home with me, but I've done nothing more than attend my usual group activities. I have a strong feeling that someone in my quilting groups or line dance classes shared it with me. I only hope I didn't pass it on to someone else before my symptoms began. It's still a very unpleasant virus to deal with. On the positive side, I can't taste anything. Food isn't appealing. I've lost three pounds. Linda
I love your improv piece and the sprinkles are delightful. Hope you turn the corner and start feeling better.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. That virus is still nasty! I do love where you are going with your improv project. Love the pop of turquoise with the reds and oranges.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteBummer you caught Covid! We had it in August, with no idea where we got it either. But it's no fun!! Take it easy!
