27 Jul More HST love
I’ve been working on a quilt this week for Cheryl Arkison’s Quilts Recover. When I first decided to participate, I thought I might make a quilt inspired by her logo which I love. As the time got closer though, I saw this quilt using the mosaic block that people are doing as part of the Summer Sampler Series quilt along. I love the block and, better yet, it is made up of HSTs! (I do plan to get over my obsession soon :))
Next question: what colors? I’ve been feeling like working with some black lately (unusual for me) so I decided that would be the background color. In general, when I make quilts for charity I try not to make them for young children. Based on the charity quilts I see at the large guild I belong to, there are already many quilts for younger children. So, I tend to think about teenagers, boys or less girly girls – or maybe even adults!
Anyway, I looked at my fabrics and decided on white, two yellows and grey. This shot is from my design wall a couple of days ago. I’ll be shipping it off to Cheryl soon.

Posted at 11:38h, 28 JulyWhy would you ever consider getting over a HST addiction. There is nothing wrong with that kind of addiction. Nothing at all. Especially when it allows you to produce like this!
Can't wait to see it in person!

Posted at 13:49h, 27 JulyI agree – I collect knitted garments for charity; we always gets lots of kids' sweaters but rarely adult sizes!
I like your design; at first I thought it was computer generated – when you said it was on your design wall I took a closer look! Well done you.
