Kaffe Fassett #1

This is the first Kaffe Fassett quilt that I made with the cut up scraps.  Can you see the major design flaw?  I keep telling myself that it doesn't bother me, but it does.  Somewhere I got lost and couldn't figure out how to place the red and the blue fabrics.  So I convinced myself that it didn't matter and to keep going.  This is what happens when you don't have a big design board.

The crysanthemum, guinea flowers and big blooms are so pretty.

I started from the outer edges and worked my way in alternating with red and blue fabric.

This is the first quilt that I used this technique, so I have learned to pay attention. I should have stopped and taken it all apart until it looked right. 
 

Kaffe Fasset #3

This is the third quilt made from the Kaffe Fassett and KF Collective fabrics that I cut up into usable scraps.  I  wanted to use a fabric that made me smile and the KF fabrics have always made me happy.

The fabrics were all cut into 6 inch squares and then sorted by color.  

It was more interesting to put the squares on point and then go round and round with 10 squares on each side.  I used my bed as my design board and put a sheet on it.  Still it was hard to fit all the squares onto the sheet and I had to pin some down.  Once the pattern looked pleasing enough, I sewed them together.

 Some of the fabrics are really old and some I'm not sure if they were KF but if it looked like it, I used them.

My friend Lily was able to fix my laptop, so I am able to write on this blog.  Thank you Lily, it took a long time but it was worth it.  I'll have to catch up for the whole year that I didn't post.  Please bear with me.
