If Molly has her way, these red chip blocks will fall to floor and become part of Buddy's playground. If I get my way, I'll link up with the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge before its tomorrow or a week or two have gone by.
My computer has gotten so slow, I look back fondly to the speedy days when we used modems. As a sign of the times, my computer is suffering from too many conflicts where software does not completely uninstall when you ask politely. So when the ball of doom rotates, I wonder off and engage elsewhere.
I need about 300 more light microspools so I prepared a new batch. This is a charm quilt so each spool is a different fabric. To make a 60 inch square quilt, I need 1600 microspools. The vertical spools will be dark in value while the horizontal ones will be light. Since my stash tends to be on the dark side, I have found it challenging to get enough lights. Also the range for the lights is limited because it has to be dark enough to stand out from the background yet not fall to the dark side, and exceedingly nebulous line to draw.
Yowzer, fun times ahead! Lots of cutting happening here. Anxious to see where it's going.
ReplyDeleteLove your chips! I might have to "borrow" this idea! Can't wait to see the microspools. The idea of 1600 of them is mind boggling. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love them too, great idea to borrow!
DeleteFun RED scraps and sweet Spool blocks waiting to be constructed!! Do you need a scrap infusion? If so, just let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.
ReplyDeleteThat red fabric with cows is so cute! You sewed a cow chip, LOL!! I’m impressed that you’ve stuck with the microspools after all this time. That is going to be a busy and likely heavy quilt.
ReplyDeleteCathy's cow chip cracked me up!
ReplyDelete1600 microspools is mind-boggling...
Love the quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun blocks! I'm having the same computer issue. I can't get a program to uninstall and after an evening with tech support, it still didn't work! I'm going to move the computer closer to the setting machine before I start the next round of calls!
ReplyDeleteWhat size of lighter pieces do you need? I probably have some charming scraps I could send from a box of pastel scraps.
