Of course, I can’t resist the idea of some shabby chic and some fussy printing/cutting with the pickled clams. An idea is slowly forming and will definitely include some black and/or deep grey.
Another 4 or 5 hours of piecing and the baby quilt will be done. With any luck, I’ll have it finished by the time Thursday evening is over, will be able to do the final pressing on Friday and then hopefully get it basted over the long weekend. I’ve got the quilting for it planned and hope to finish the quilting and have it bound before month end.
I’m going to take a brief blog break and have an extra-long weekend and will be back on Tuesday. I hope everyone has a great weekend .

I am assuming that the blacks are not batiks – I have very dark purple batiks in my Alabama Beauty pointy center bits and am having a terrible time seeing the lines – I have to have the light almost in my lap shining right on the fabric. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with that assortment of fabric.
Lester looks regal no matter what angle he is photographed from. For some reason I think Smudge looks annoyed.
Have a nice long weekend – get a lot accomplished.

Isn’t planning a new quilt the most fun. I am seeing clamshells everywhere. Brown Dirt Cottage just did a tutorial. Love the look of the clams.

That would turn out to be a sweet sweet quilt! Is that blue fabric a Robyn Pandolph fabric?
