Here are some progressive shots of the quilt as-you-go Valentine project (my first quilt BTW); it was FUN!
OK so I decided to make a little quilt....just a little "throw" mind you, nothing fancy, nothing too big...after all, this is my very first attempt at a quilt-as-you-go by machine piece.... let's keep it simple. Yeah, right. See with me, its all about ideas in my head, a vision, a dream...sometimes a nightmare in disguise! I don't use patterns much (maybe I SHOULD!) so I just set out to go where angels fear to trod... and the path can get really strange, LOL.
Anyway, the bloomin' thing just grew and grew... until it covers a double or queen size bed...don't know HOW that happened but it did. So here is the FMQ, quilt-as-you-go Valentine quilt, for what its worth! I chose three solid colors (glittery, yep I'm all about the BLING) and two red prints with a third one added for the two squares framing the center appliqued heart square..... keep it simple, remember?
Stay tuned and I'll share my two new bags made with the "wing-it-method"... LOL.
Oh and the slippers made from a pattern that was SO very convoluted that I had to almost-wing-it to make them (I think that's why I don't use patterns; I can convolute things on my own, thank you very much!).
