carissa's books

One more shelf for Carissa. I think of my stash as being more in the vintage/murky color range, so it was fun to discover I had a few scraps to add to Carissa's bright bookcase. This was a fun block to work on - quick, but with some challenges to arrange the book heights and colors in a way that made me happy. It's going to be a striking quilt when they're all put together!

(Arg. I thought I posted this a month ago. Must have hit "save now" instead of "publish post". Sorry.)

Blocks for Jacquie and Carissa -- Finally!

The real tragedy here is that I have had these blocks done for about a month, and I just barely mailed them yesterday. But they are on their ways now, ladies. Sorry you had to wait so long.

For Carissa.

I tried to do a variety of different blocks for Jacquie, but I'm not sure the wonky ones turned out that well. The one below, I didn't think it completely through before starting construction, so I'm not sure it even reads as a cross.

So I had to throw in some standard issue crosses just to be safe. I look forward to seeing the finished quilts!

A fabric bookshelf

I finished up Carissa's block last weekend and it's in the mail, heading to her now.

I hope I matched the fabrics enough to your color scheme, Carissa!

It was a little hard to photograph so I just did sections of it - I ran out of white so didn't get the full 30" but it's close...
