Last night, I sat down to work on my late mother-in-law’s bumblebee/honey bee quilt. The blocks she made were wonky on purpose and I could not even contemplate cutting wonky strips. I stacked up all the fabric, sorted into piles: her fabric - must use, my fabric I- goes well with hers, or my fabric - doesn’t fit wrong value/hue/color. Then I began cutting fabric into wonky strips. I had help, see alt text. #catsofmastodon #RaederlesNoxTheCat #RaederlesBeeQuilt #Quilting #RaederleQuilts
Because I sometimes have poor or no delayed gratification, I visited a quilt shop a couple of minutes from work on my lunch break. I really like the idea of a different color for sashing. This shop has all the “bee” fabric on the same shelf so it was easy to select a couple of new options to augment the fabric my MIL already had. #Quilt #QuiltBlocks #PiecedQuiltTop #RaederlesNuggetTheCat #RaederlesBeeQuilt
My mother-in-law was working on a quilt for her bed before she passed in March. This weekend, I found her project bag and was able to bring it home. Her blocks are 10 inches or so, sewn to a muslin square. It will take me a while but I hope to finish her quilt too before next March. I’ll need to add some fabric to the project. #Quilt #PiecedQuiltTop #QuiltBlocks #CatsOfMastodon #RaederlesNuggetTheCat edit to add #RaederlesBeeQuilt
