Fractured QA - week 5

I know, 

I am 1 week behind in the Fractured QA

due to vacation,

but I am still on it.

First off I just HAD to cut 

into the blue FQ won from Vicki

and then shuffled fabrics

to find the best color combination:

Hand dyed blue and commercial orange Batik

was the final decision - 

and a block C sewn up.

(colors not true, it's more orange as seen in 1st pic).

Final count: a whopping 9 blocks

What can I say:

slow and steady ;-)

The new block stands out and will find a spot

closer to the edge of final quilt,

but the 3x3 lay-out fit best in a picture...

It's coming together - 

and I am linking up to Vicki's blog.

So glad she gives us until Sunday

and makes me get my act together

and post for her linky!

Happy sewing,

Barb

Fractured QAL - week 4

Slow and steady - 

that still seems to be my mantra

for the Fractured quilt.

Today I can show 7 total blocks

meaning I made 3 this week - 

and hope to add a few more later...

But look what I found in my mailbox on Friday - 

my Fractured QAL win from Vicki:

Vicki,

Thank you so much - 

my very first hand dyed fabric

and it will be cut up here shortly 

for another fractured block;

and a beautiful card + sticky notes, 

perfect to keep the A,B,C and D blocks apart.

Linking up to this week's Fractured QAL linky,

I'll probably be the last one again,

but I am still going strong ;-)

Happy sewing,

Barb
