A Burst of Color


My latest project is going to be a burst of color!  A queen sized quilt made out of the leftover hand dyed fabrics and a couple of store bought colors to splice between my own dyed ones.  This entire project was conceived when I went on a family quilting getaway and didn't have a project to work on.  Sure I had some fabric, but what to do with what I have?  Eventually I really want to make a Broken Star Quilt out of Batiks, but since I had only one weekend and no pre-washed batiks means that will be put on hold... for now.  Luckily the first night I found a quilt book and bought it.  It had this pattern in it: 6" squares in a crosshatch pattern with a border of circles within squares.  Since I have so much hand-dyed fabrics leftover I just started cutting up the blocks and soon enough I will have enough to make my quilt!
