Looking Ahead

I can't help it ...

Happy Surprise
Yes, I remember my 2015 pleadge to FINISH what I work on ...

Yes, I know, I have more than a couple things on the front burners ...

Yes, I'm being faithful (sort of) to the leader/ender process ...

But I just HAD to see how the current L/E project is working out!

I'm glad I did this little test run because I can see that the low-contrast combos, especially the dark ones, are not as striking.  I think I will rearrange some of my pairs to get more contrast between light and dark.


Full leader/ender box
This project is a design by Jo Kramer and her daughter Kelli.  Their quilt appears in (and on the cover of) the 2016 American Patchwork & Quilting calendar.  Using a Jelly Roll of Moda "Grunge," I've cut the half-square triangles using the Easy Angle ruler.

Progress thus far:

    I think of grunge as being dingy, dirty. Not these fabrics. Sometimes simple designs are the best. (Wanda Hanson at Exuberant Color is the best at that.)

    Great L/E project! I love the Grunge line of fabrics - such gorgeous color. Maybe pop in just a few deep darks and pales along with your brights for more contrast & sparkle?

    Actually I really love that some of your HSTs have less contrast. Libby they look shimmery and beautiful!
