Black and White with a Twist Update
Both David and I have our Quilts on the Wall “Black and White with a Twist” quilts well underway. I find it really amazing how much you can get done in 15 minute blocks of time. David and I are both in the quilting stage and we try to work in at least 15 minutes of stitch time as soon as we get home.
I would love to show the progress on the quilts but since they will be debuting at the July Long Beach show (if they get selected). Restrictions on posting to a blog or website are in effect. I will tell you that I had fun using a Wordle as part of my design element and I will be adding my “color twist” after everything the quilting. The rules allow up to 10% color and I am hoping I mess this part up as it will be paint.
I will be getting a “pre-critique” from my sister when I show it to her later this month. I took a photo early in the process so it will be interesting to compare the “before, during, and last” when I get it all done. David and I did share at the Quilts on the Wall meeting our progress. They are so totally different in scope. Someone described David’s quilt as “disturbing” and Mark Stone picked mine as his favorite.
Keep creating and remember that you can get a major amount of work done in small blocks of time!
