WIP Wednesday - Quilt Alongs

I'm participating in three quilt alongs, and I am up to date on all of them.

First up is the Morewood Mystery QAL hosted by Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs.  We've been piecing smaller blocks over the course of the fall, and January's instructions resulted in these larger blocks.  Choosing black as the background sounded like a great idea at the time...until I started piecing.  I keep forgetting that sewing black is hard on the eyes.


Next is the Bokeh QAL hosted by Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirl.  This QAL just started a few weeks ago with the cutting instructions.  I'm using Kona:  Storm, Blueprint, Quicksilver, Chartreuse, and Natural.



The third is the Exploding Hearts QAL hosted by Laura @ Slice of Pi Quilts.  I'm using fabrics from a fat quarter bundle Sunnyside Up by Corey Yoder.
 

These are the 15 prints I chose, with the background being Kona Quicksilver.


I used by Accquilt Go cutter to cut the many triangles needed.  I've starting piecing the QST blocks -- we have two weeks to complete the piecing.



Today was a great day!  A great day for women.  A great day for Black women.  Well done Madam Vice President.

  2. Sewing or quilting on black has to be one of the hardest colours there is.
