WORKING WITH COLORS

The Posy table runner is a done deal!  
It was fun to use the Fat Quarters to make the flowers!
This 60" x 66" ,or so, quilt is all pieced except for the narrow top  and bottom borders!  I just ran out of oomph for the long strips! lol
I did piece some of the cat/flower layer cake blocks---the colors are so rich and a lot of fun to make!
A bit more spinning is happening also.  I tried to make some olive green roving!  It came out way too orange/brown---a common error when working with this color because it is made of green and red and the color 'breaks' into its components instead of the end goal color.  I will try again.  Yes, it is still a pretty color, just not the one I was going for!

  1. I have the same problem with olive green. It's very frustrating but at least you got a decent colorway out of it. It's ruined some of my dyeing attempts when I've paired it with colors that don't work with that orange/brown thing it turns into.

  5. The flower runner is so sweet and happy. Sorry the spinning didn't work the way you wanted it to but as you said the color is still very pretty.
    Blessings and hugs,

DIFFERENT PACES

The blanket is coming along nicely--this is folded in half;  the side on the bottom would be the width,  so I have at least another 4-6 inch...
