As you can tell from the picture here, I am busy at my design wall for the Tuscan landscape "9-Patch Pizzazz" (a Judy Sisneros creation/design) quilt. What you see is the very rough layout of the piece, without any sashing or borders. The focus fabric is sweet, 'happy' fabric (click on the image to enlarge it so you can see the Italian cypress, hills and sun), which makes me want to hop on a plane and fly off to Tuscany. I found this fabric quite by accident and connected with it immediately.
Now that I am working on the quilt top, I see some things I might have done differently in picking complementary fabric for the 9-patch elements, but the border is somewhat busy, so I think these tone-on-tones will be alright. This pattern is, as noted before, fun but challenging. As I start to sew the vertical rows together, we'll see how straight they are. I fear that some of them may look as though they are just a little tipsy!
I am taking Judy Sisneros's class "Rectangle Pizzazz" at the end of this month, so I will likely learn much more about this method. I continue to use large scale fabric. Will have to break out of this soon, but I love to showcase the theme fabric.
Enough blogging. Back to my Janome.
