On the design wall



On the design wall is a quilt destined for my Mother in Law.


Hourglass blocks and a couple of charm packs of Chrysalis, which we chose together, with her room in mind.



I am planning on a border of grey to highlight the white in the top, then a pieced border.  I may add a further white border, but we shall see.


 I really love this layout - this is the third I have made.  I would love to try this in some pastel colours with a softer grey.

I am going to use it as a practice quilt for when my Gammill Longarm arrives next month.  I want to piece a couple of more tops between now and then. 


I also have to do some serious furniture moving/culling too.

The excitement is building around here!!

Linking up with WIP Wednesday.
