WIP Wednesday: My Retro Week
It's Wednesday, and I'm stitching it old school up in here. As I've mentioned before, my friend Allison Bielke is now designing fabric for Modern Yardage, and I jumped at the chance to work with one of her fab new lines. Allison loves mid-century-modern design, so I wanted to come up with a quilt design that reflected her retro vibe.These wonky double-bow-tie blocks feature heavily in the design I came up with, even though at the time I wasn't entirely sure how to go about piecing them. : ) Fortunately, these babies turned out to be easy, fun, and slightly addictive! A block tutorial and free quilt pattern using Allison's Business and Leisure line are in the works.I'm also throwing a few other fun blocks into this quilt too, all featuring Allison's prints. Can't wait to finish this quilt! The look is so different from what I usually do, but I'm digging it more and more.What are you working on this week? Here are the linky rules:1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP).2. Somewhere in your post, you must link back here to my blog. (Or grab the WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)3. Comment on at least a few of the other WIP Wednesday links—commenting on the two or three links directly before yours works well to make sure everyone gets comments!Have a wonderful week.
