Storm @ Sea vs. Shakespeare in the Park

I don't post often, but I thought you all might like to know what I've gone and done. I was following the thread on the S@S design, and followed a link to view some. Beautiful, and I've wanted to do one for a while. I went to the link to get coloring pages for S@S, printed many

8x11 pages, and worked with colored pencils on about 4 different color ways with different aspects of the design being accented. It was lots of fun!! I couldn't make up my mind which one to do. Then, I followed a link to the Shakespeare in the Park. Well! I ordered the book last Friday(29th), got it on Monday(2nd), and went fabric shopping on Thursday. Friday I started to cut, and got the cream strips cut. Saturday was my "friendship group" quilter get together, and I cut the blue strips. Last night I subcut all the blue pieces, and this afternoon I started the subcuts for the cream. Judy Martin's instructions don't use short cuts, and since it's design is scrappy, I'm going by her directions. Onesy-twosy. I love the original quilt shown so much that I tried to duplicate the types of fabrics they used. Lots of various prints, and some florals, etc. I usually lean toward Batiks, so this is a departure for me, both in the fabrics and the assembly. Now look at what you guys have started here! And me with a list of ufo's as long as my arm. Maybe by the time i have this finished, the wall elves will have returned my digital camera so I can post a picture! Darlene in Pa

I can't wait to see the pictures. I just went to Judy's Web site to see what we were talking about, and I could fall in love with that quit! I have fabric to make a quilt in creams, beiges, etc., but I haven't been able to decide what pattern. I'm looking for something that has some "movement" to it, and I think this could be the answer!

I did the same Darlene - up until the getting fabric and starting cutting part! My book is still in the bookshelf, taken out and that quilt adored periodically! One day ... . In message , Darlene in Pa writes

Thanks for covering for me, Sandy. I didn't remember the link. I still have 4 more strips to cut into subcuts, then I can start piecing. I enlarged the diagrams for me to follow, so I don't have to squint at the book. ;-) Darlene in Pa

Sounds great, Darlene! I hope those mischievous wall elves take pity on you -- we'd love to see what you've come up with. :)

This group gets us into more kinds of trouble, LOL! I know what you mean, I want to order the book this week and plan to try the quilt during 2007. I can hardly wait to see pictures of your quilt!
