Here’s my progress for the first week of the barn door qal. It took a few tries with the seam ripper to get things lined up but I’m really liking the direction this is going.
Lack of light and crummy weather makes me do crazy things… like pretend my quilt is a wall hanging. Actually, it would be a pretty cool wall hanging.
I was all jazzed to work on this again tonight, but our power is out so I’m sitting in a coffee shop, drinking sugary things and checking my email way too often. 🙂 Hopefully tomorrow!
It looks like an amazing flag / wall hanging in that last pic!
I completely love it!!! Such beautiful colors. And your points are lining up just right. 🙂
I’m seriously considering making another as a wall hanging. My walls are so empty! It took a few tries on getting the points to line up, but I think I’m finally in the groove 🙂
It’s looking great. Keep up the good work (when you have your power back).
Thanks!!! Our power is back now, so I’m hoping to get more done tonight. Hooray!
I feel for you with the power outage. A lot of that going around this season. Your progress is fantastic! Love the fabric choices! Hope your power is restore soon and you can get back at it!
Yah, this has been a bizarre winter! Luckily the power’s back now. Last year we had a storm that knocked out power for 2 weeks! I hope that doesn’t happen again, but I would make a lot of progress on my epp if it did 🙂
Fabulous work, so precise!
Thanks Fran! The secret is lots of seam ripping 😉
This is looking beautiful! I’m loving the colors and how the darks and lights play off each other. Also, the chambray 🙂
Thanks Kelsey! I’m a bit obsessed with these colors right now. And especially the chambray! I actually made myself switch to Kona navy for a few stripes for fear of diminishing my chambray stash too much… I’m becoming a hoarder 🙂
Love the colors you’re using. Can’t wait to see it all come together 🙂
Thanks Amanda! 🙂
Ooooh I love this!!! It’s gorgeous!!!
Thanks!! I’m super excited about it! 🙂
I love this, it’s so gorgeous! I wanted to take part in this QAL but i just don’t have the time for anymore projects. Seeing what you have going on makes me think i should dump one of my projects and start… must resist!
hahaha, Sarah and I are going to keep tempting you to join in! I’m doing a baby version. I don’t know if that’s any faster but in my mind it is! But really, your list is usually a mile long and I don’t want you to stress 🙂
I love the colors that you’re using! Like, love, love, love them 🙂 You were so diligent to make your points match up and they look great! I’m afraid by the time I’m done with my version of this quilt, I might title it “An Ode to Imperfection.”
Thanks for the visit Jess! I am super excited about my colors as well 🙂 It’s the first quilt I’ve made that’s really felt like “me”. I spent a lot of time with my seam ripper on this one, although I have started slacking off a little and saying things like “will anyone notice this from far away”? 🙂 I can’t wait to check out your project!
Yep. Totally works as a wall hanging. The baby won’t miss it. Let it hang!
Haha, the baby’s not born yet, so I could totally steal it without him knowing 🙂
Did I mention that I am LOVING this?!! The chambray is inspired. Can I have one to hang on my wall too? Great job with your points as well!
Thanks so much Whitney! I want to use Chambray in every project now. I’m so in love. Haha! I wish I had time to make another one for a wall hanging.
