WIP Wednesday 7.3.13
I’m having a lot of fun with the pigeon fabric (from Mo Willems’s books for kids and Cloud 9 Fabrics). I imagined the pigeon watching me as I worked, sympathizing with my process. That’s totally normal, right? Right?
There’s the design phase. I hope this works!
The piecing phase. I should have cut my HST pieces a little bigger to start with. There’s one that’s a little small:
The finished top. It worked!
Luckily I never hit full-on panic phase.
And here it is. The finished top.
I especially love the stripe. I think it will make its way into future projects.
Its new owner was pleased as well.
It’s the perfect size for him, about 40 x 50.
And with the help of big brother, I sketched out the next pigeon top:
Though I think it needs a little editing. Or tweaking. What do you think? I’m trying to make them similar but different.
I’m excited for the long weekend and class on Monday! A new batch of students ready to make their first quilts. I might not be back here again until Tuesday, so I hope you have a fantastic Fourth.
Linking up with Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.
The pigeons tell your story well. These are going to be beloved quilts.
i thought it was so fun that they made that book into fabric. what a great top you’ve made with it! i love the little “bump up” in the middle. and i think your alternate idea will be great, too. very cute all the way around.
Hello,
I don’t know the books on which the fabric is based but I love your design for the quilt! (and the sketch looks very promising too!).
