I had to go through my scraps and stash with a very open mind and not be so discounting of as many fabrics as I have in the past when selecting my challenge colours. As you can see below I really based my selection on a very misty morning hence a lot of light colours with greys, lilacs and a smidge of very early morning pale gold thrown in.
Now onto sewing them up and adding them to my pile of pretties that have been gathering over the last 7 months.
Last month my quilting group had an "in-house" workshop and one of the members showed us how to make a stained glass wall-hanging. Our "homework" was to complete it and bring it back this month for "show and tell". I enjoyed the process and result but can see that a large quilt is not in the foreseeable future.
Back soon with a photo my newly sewn misty mountain 9 patch squares and in the meantime
Happy
sewing all
Linking with Quilting is more fun then Housework and So Scrappy
