Possibilities -

 

Today I played with more possibilities - 

 

For my Hearts and my Memory Quilt - 

 

I could/should have put these up on my design wall - 

 

But it was easier to lay them out - 

 

On the insert tables on my quilt frame - 

 

So I tried a "log cabin" type layout - 

 

And a circular one with them pointing toward the center - 

 

 

And another circular one with the second "round" pointing out -

 

I still think that a circle might be harder to keep "straight" - 

 

 

So I'm back to lining them up in columns - 

 

I laid these out in groups of six -

 

On a folded over 1/4 yd cut -

And they look a little "crowded" -

 

 

And - math-wise - it's easier to sort them in "fives" - 

 

 

Each 1/4 yd cut will hold ten Hearts - 

 

Either all on the same strip - 

 

Or I could cut the strips in half and put five on each part - 

 

And mix them up a little - 

 

 

I brought back the batiks to join the party - 

 

And to give me a little more variety in background choices - 

 

Now I want to figure out the best way to "label" them - 

Maybe insert a printed piece with the names of the quilts - 

 

And maybe include the dates - 

 

But I need something that wouldn't take up too much space -

 

Or this will be HUGE - 

 

Right now I think it will come out to about 60" x 80" - 

 

Which is the same size as my Upstairs/Downstairs quilts -

 

So I could put the list on the back - 

 

That might work -

And - one other thing -

I re-found the video with something that I want to try -

 

A "Quilt-as-you-go method" - HERE -  

 

So there are a bunch of possibilities -

 

And I'm having FUN checking them out - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
