trapezoids

When we were at the mountain, I found a quilt store in Bellingham that I liked.  I really liked it.  What I was seeing just felt very creative and I liked their stock.  Now, most of what I bought there is still in Utah but I brought back some scrappy bits.

The store cuts 5 inch squares in multiple different prints.  They package 21 prints together for 42 squares.  It means I could get one of my normal nine squares from it or two not normal.  It would add a difference to my quilts since I really did not pick my fabrics.  But I decided to do something totally different.

I cut trapezoids.

Small trapezoids that I am stitching together.  This may be a center of a quilt.  Or it may be a bit on the back.  Or I may be asked to make it into a quilt for Spikey or Bruce Banner, Koda Bear's soft friends.  But I know I am having fun.  I have messed it up a bit but that is not surprising.  This is the first time I have tried anything like this.

Quilts at my sewing machine.  Lovely times at my wheel.  More time in a tent with tea over a fire this weekend.  Life is good.
