On the design Wall...

I often have more than one project on my design wall.  Such is the case today.  I removed the center of my Orphan Block project which is all sewn together, 'cause I needed space for this little project in the middle.  I'm still struggling with the Orphan Block borders so I thought starting this little Challenge Project might provide a distraction.

The Challenge theme is "Monterey Bay Life".  Anything to do with life in the Monterey Bay, It's rather broad.  I bought this Beach Scene fabric recently so I thought I'd try to incorporate that into the design.
The perspective is really off but I was determined to use that fabric!
I even went to the Beach yesterday to get some inspiration...
Where are the people!  LOL
Anyway,  these were the fabrics  we were given with the instructions to use as much as possible.
The green for the plants and the yellow for the sand was an easy application. The white background I rolled kind of like piping for foam for the waves.  I considered using the batik for the sky but it just had tooo much yellow in it.  So that's going to be the border.  I know that's kind of a cop-out but it actually looks pretty good!
I hope to get the top done today so's I can get back to the bigger project.
The Quilt Show is at the end of Feb. so I think I can get this all cleared off the design wall by then!
I hope you all have a Peaceful Sunday!
take care, cw

Give-away! Yeah! I am participating in the Quilt Gallery-Blog Hop Party w/ Give-Away .  (link to the right)    But what to give-away?   I’ve been collecting fabric seriously for more than 20 years.   So here’s my give away.   TEN  -  Fat Quarter’s (that’s a $25-$30.00 value) selected from my stash tailored to the request of the winner!    I’ve pretty much got it all; batiks, repro’s from the 1930’s and 1800’s, all colors, kids fabrics, bugs, food, flowers, oriental, flannels, plaids, etc...   The winner can request a smorgasborg or all of one kind.   Fun for you to make a wish list, fun for me to tailor a collection just for you. What do you need to do?   Leave me a comment at the end of this blog ( please, just one comment per visitor) and a way I can contact you if you are the lucky winner.   I will even cover over seas shipping!   I will draw a name at the end of the blog- hop at midnight, ...

Winter Blog Hop and Crumbs

Image
Here on the Central Coast of California we really can't complain about Winter toooo much 'cause nature is pretty kind to us.  We do get the occasional high winds, power outages, and if it rains for several days in a row with high tides; low parts of the town have been known to flood (that really can be a problem).  But we've none of that bitter cold stuff or shoveling snow 'til you are so tired you could just spit.  But I'm happy to be in the blog hop just to say hello and exchange info. and ideas so here's my give away... I've been playing around with jelly rolls lately.  Because I'm toooo cheap to pay someone else to cut my strips for me I've been making up my own.  So here's a bunch of strips I put together; 10 - 5" strips (one strip is hiding in the picture).  That's equal to 1/2 of a jellyroll.   I know-   jelly rolls are 2.5" strips but I figured you can cut them in half if you want or you can use the extra width for wh...
