I am not crazy about every new technology that comes out. In fact, I wish things would just. Stop. Changing. I just don’t like learning all the ins and outs of the new things you know?
Some of my children have Instagram accounts, so I signed up for one. Even though I don’t want to learn a new thing, just today I decided to post on my account. It’s “Joan Parker” if you want to take a peek, but I’m posting the same pictures here.
Kim Diehl is on Instagram. I have always liked her fabrics and designs. She is having a quilt-along from one of her new books, Simple Friendships 2. I just happened to buy that on Kindle. That is the only book of here’s that I own. So I started yesterday. I was a week behind, so I made last week’s, and then today I made this week’s. Very small pieces. I guess I’ve been using slightly bigger pieces just long enough to think the 1-1/2” squares are tiny. A 1-1/2” square finished HST?? What in the world??
The thing that is sort of bothering me is that I don’t know what fabrics to use because I don’t know what the finished product will look like. I’m wondering which ones will be next to which ones, and so on. I guess I’ll just have to wing it.
Here is week one’s pictures...
Here is week two:
They are pretty blocks and your colors are well coordinated, so it should finish up fine. I seldom do mystery quilts for the same reason you gave, its hard to do fabric selections when you have no idea what you are making.
ReplyDeleteI love Kim Diehl's designs and have several of her books. But, the only thing I have made from her books is a "Welcome" door hanger. One of these days I will make one of her smaller quilts. The QAL looks like fun! I'm not on Instagram and haven't really thought about joining.
