Colorways by Vicki Welsh

I only completed 2 more kits yesterday but I was really happy that I could purge some scraps from veterans quilt backs for both. In this first one, I devised a layout to use the chisel blocks. I had the beige scraps from quilting 6 veterans quilts that I was able to use for the back.

This one is a pattern that I’ve made before and really liked. The blocks and cornerstones will float on the light gray background. The gray is also leftover from 6 veteran quilt backs.

I barely put a dent in the hand dyed pre-cuts. I’ll see if I can do better today.

I rewarded myself by meeting some friends for a drink in the evening. We haven’t seen each other since December.  It’s a group that I worked with and we have been getting together monthly since I retired in 2010.

Today I’m doing a little planting, a friend is coming to use my Go cutter and I hope to put together 2 more kits.
