My delay in writng this post is an indication that YET AGAIN I was rushing to meet a deadline. Nothing would ever be finished were it not for the last minute. This is a mantra that keeps me going.
I was making a quilt for publication in a magazine. I was incredibly fortunate and was provided with some fabric to make this quilt. I really enjoy trying to bring as many fabrics as possible into a quilt. I love a scrappy look.
I also really enjoyed the challenge of not having an influence over the fabric that I received.
I’d love to show you the quilt…
but it’s a secret.
I’ll give you a little sneaky look
but you can’t tell anyone.
OK?
Deadlines…. they got me through uni!!
nothing wrong with an all-nighter here and there…
That’s funny… I work to that mantra too. Quilt looks more than okay – great combination of fabrics.
Thank you. It has been a while since I worked with little patterns like these. THe overall effect is beautiful.
Oh, your secret’s safe with me, I won’t tell a soul. That’s gorgeous, Tracey, just gorgeous.
I knew I could trust you…
I’m with Sharon71. Deadlines are good. And you obviously work well with deadlines yourself. Would love to have a grand view when you can show us!
Might be a while until the big reveal. I will show the whole thing after the magazine publication.
Looks beautiful!
thanks
Flipping heck between you and Duyvken I am just stunned by the beauty you are producing..
If I lived closer I’d bring everyone of them to you for some equally stunning photography.
I won’t tell anyone how absolutely beautiful and adorable your quilt is! Okay, well maybe I’ll tell just a few hundred folks…would that be alright? I love the bird! Thanks for giving us a ’sneak peek’…when will we get to see the whole thing? Which magazine?
so long as you tell those people it’s a secret. It will be in the Quilters Companion magazine. It’s an Australian publication.
Quilt? What quilt? I don’t see a top-secret quilt on your blog!
P.S. That is gorgeous! Love the colors, the shapes, the bird.
I think all birds should have heart shaped wings.
The bird is wonderful! I keep waiting to see bits and pieces of the “Molly goes to Paris” line! I haven’t seen it yet!
you never know when it may show up…
looks delicious, Tracey!
Like Sharon & Melody .. sometimes a deadline is the only thing that works
procrastination makes the world go around…
Look like it is going to be VERY VERY special!!!! Can’t wait to see!
thanks!
It’s got the 40’s feel, with those weeny flower prints – yum!
That is so pretty, wish I could see the whole thing.
I work best to deadlines too! Love the sneak peaks – such a cheerful looking design.
