Last night, instead of doing a couple other things, I did my May Journal Quilt. See that one and the rest, here.

Why you should be careful about what you blog. Or, dear readers, why this blog doesn’t gush with the deepest inner workings of my life and mind! (requires free registration with the NYTimes)

Started sewing those squares together tonight. Have about 7 columns done and will have a few more done before I go to bed. I think it looks pretty good. The batiks are better blending than I expected. And I like the way that the “background” fabric transitions even though each color gets repeated. Have to keep my wits about me while sewing since the background colors are somewhat directional. Strange but true. Since the colors blend across the fabric, one side of a 3″ square is slightly different from the other side. No change top to bottom.

Got Color?

Gotta love gradated fabric. This is what happens when you lay out a lot of squares of fabric on a cutting board to try out placement. You’re seeing about one inch of each square which will be 2.5 inches when finished. So literally a rough look.
