Very quiet evening tonight. Didn't work on my quilting at all because the weather is so humid. Everything feels so damp and wet. It isn't hot but with the humidity it feels so thick and heavy.
With that, I just browsed around the quilting internet and searched different kinds of blocks to make. I really love the Double Dresden. It has such a different flair to it and no round centre piece to worry about appliqueing onto it. I always have such a time of it making them round.
I started a candle mat with one just to try it. It is working out great and I'll post a picture of it when I'm done. It's smaller to work with so I should have fun doing the machine quilting on it. I think I just may gift it to my dear friend as a surprise too.
I still have a bunch of half square triangles left from the Cottage Comfort quilt and I am thinking a small chevron quilt will look gorgeous in those colours. I'm not a big fan of chevron quilts but with the darker earthy tones it may look pretty good. Then quilted with a lot of echos will really make it pop. That is yet to come.
When looking through my stash of fabrics earlier, I found some layer cakes that would make great Dresden quilts and some super baby quilts. I think I have enough fabrics to last me forever now.......! I really must organize them all better.
Well, off to watch some TV before bed. Hope everyone is having a wonderful evening......
