It is a second Joseph’s Coat block. Hand applique did not cause me to spontaneously combust or cause the world to go spinning off its axis so here I am doing it again.
I still have a baby quilt on the design wall that needs to be quilted since the shower is in two weeks or something ridiculous like that. I’ve decided that I like my Orca Bay better without the outside borders so even though I made all the little pieces for those borders, I’m not going to use them. Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my head around that one too. Pictures to follow when something actually changes on them.
On my actual living room wall there is now this:
I finally hung up pictures and things this weekend. This is an old quilt that I made one snowed in January day with the idea of using only what was in my stash. That was 3 houses and about 12 years ago but it looks good here. I call it Animals Around the World because it has novelty prints with zebras, parrots, monkeys, giraffes, whales and other beasties in a Trip Around the World pattern.
I’m also doing the New York Beauty Quilt along. I remembered this morning. It started last week so the first two blocks will be my Tuesday morning sewing time project. This is one of my all time favorites but I don’t have a quilt made of only this block. My theme is going to be sunflowers.
Love your ‘Animals around the world’ quilt! Great colors. Ah, you are doing Joseph’s Coat too… I’m not doing it, but I think it is a gorgeous quilt. Thanks for visiting my blog! I’ll love to see your NYB’s too! Wonderful weekend to you and yours!
Incredible patchwork work! How long did that take?
You have been busy!! The josephs coat block is great. Glad you did not combust 😉
I love your colors of the Joseph’s coat block. Will be beautiful when finished.
Animals around the world is great. I still have made any kind of “something” around the world, but it’s on my list 🙂
