Off Track for Lil’ D
Posted by Wendy Breakstone Ladd | Filed under Blocks & Patterns, Modern Quilts, Quilting for Beginners
Hi – I’m back! I’ve spent the last 1.5 years owning a fabric shop, collecting fabric, spending time with my family, and generally NOT sewing. What I found is that owning a fabric had alot of pros and cons: You meet amazing friends and talented people, you get to form a community that works for you, and you have a hell-of-alot of fabric. AND NO TIME to enjoy any of it.
So between the time and financial constraints, combined with my family commitments, I thought it better to get out of the “business of quilting” and get back into the “love of quilting.” Enough said.
I started a new project yesterday for a very good friend how has the sweetest little baby. I call her “lil” D.
This is going to be a modern scrappy quilt with a hint of vintage thrown in. I’m using Allison Harris’ Off Track pattern [Allison writes Cluck. Cluck. Sew. and she is my favorite pattern designer!].
I got through the first phase of piecing and I think that I’ve worked it out so that there will no two blocks alike!
Wish me luck – I think this one will be adorable – just like Lil’ D!
Sew on!
