Peggy’s Modern Quilt

January was so busy I can’t believe I only blogged once. So I will be trying to play catch up in the next couple of days. I meant to share this at the end of December, but better late than never. Right???

On  a Wednesday afternoon it was a little slow at Bolts so Peggy & I decided to play. 

I pulled some fabric.











And Peggy started to draw out a design. Sometimes it’s just easier to play on a scrap of paper than it is on the computer.



We chose a Bella solid in ivory from Moda for the background. Peggy laid it out…moving the different colors until they sang for her.



Then I started sewing, while she ironed.



We started the process in the late afternoon and it was finished before we closed at eight.



There were a few squares left over.



So from this…



To this – in less than four hours. It still needed a good pressing when I took this picture.



It’s basted & ready for quilting, hopefully we will get that done this week. I’ll show it as soon as it’s quilted and the binding is done. 

Peggy has a fabulous artistic vision. I wonder what she will come up with next. Actually, I know what she came up with, but I can't share as it is for the quilt run this summer.



Stitch at you Soon,
