Happy New Year! I am finally finished painting my quilt squares. I have changed from my original plan of the quilt in that I was going to have a large square in the middle with an eagle painted on it. Instead, I have painted an eagle on each of the 4 corners. All of the squares are 10 x 10 plus the black frame and the fabric sashing. I can hardly wait to have it all put together. I did, however, run into a snag recently. I was a bit concerned about running out of fabric, and rightfully so. When I was putting the squares together, I found that I was short for the long side of 13 squares. I am not the one who figured out the fabric--no, no, no, I am not so good at math and figuring how much fabric I need. I really don't sew an awful lot either. The quilt shop told me how much fabric I needed, I did waste just a little through mistakes, but not that much, and I don't think my change of the original plan altered the results that much- well, I don't think so. Anyway, of course, the quilt shop did not have any more of the fabric--what to do??? My hubby said that I could get all new fabric and start from scratch- I Don't Thinks SO!! Anyway, the lady at the quilt shop was good enough to tell me that the fabric was from, Floagraphix II In the beginning by Jason Yenter. So, thank God for the internet. I found the fabric on line and was able to order more. I am posting some pictures- now, keep in mind, I need more fabric, so it should look much better when completed. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I will update with the completed quilt top and then again when it is completed, and then again, if I enter into a quilt show.
