hot and cold

hot and cold, top

I've been frantically working on a quilt submission for the Modern Quilt Guild Showcase at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall. It's due Friday. I started it on Sunday afternoon after a wave of inspiration hit.

The top is done. It's a mix of linen, linen/cotton blends, shot cottons, and a few Suzuko Koseki prints thrown in for fun. I think it measures around 55" square? I'll measure after I quilt it, which I suppose should happen tonight. Doh! I'm running out of time! Send me fast quilting vibes.

    Amazing! Here's to fast quilting and bobbins that are empty exactly when you reach the edge of the quilt!
