Here I am with my failed effort to finish section one of the Gypsy Wife 2016 quilt along. I failed due to one very simple but influential reason. Much to our joy I am pregnant (and dealing with the joys of the first trimester). Evening sewing went out the window and Sunday sewing dragged. I am starting to see a little of the light however so I am fairly confident that I can catch up. Second trimester energy is about 1-2 weeks away. Here are my blocks so far.
I love what I have seen from others. I'm going to make some better efforts to be more bold with color. Yellow for some reason is drawing me in a great deal, so I will bring more of that into the quilt for sure.
Linking up with the rest at Hydeeann's blog
A lovely start!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - congratulations!! You have a most important reason for not feeling up to much sewing at the moment. I do like the fabrics you are using in Gypsy Wife and the pattern is not the easiest is it - I had to re-make one of my blocks twice before I had the measurements correct. I'm looking forward to more posts! Before I go - love to bits your blog title - I also love butterflies!
