Obsessed with Wonderland
Thursday, April 29th, 2010I’ve been obsessed with Wonderland by Momo ever since it came out. So, I’ve started working on two new projects with what I’ve got left.
I bought a jelly roll a while back and decided to make Thea’s Puzzle Quilt (a pattern by Amy Butler). I’ve got the middle section done, so I just need to create the border of solid color that goes around it — and for Mark’s sake, I’m going to do brown instead of pink (apparently he hates pink … and I’m hoping that both him and the quilt stick around for a while!). Then I’m going to add an oatmeal-colored fabric for the border and possibly the backing.
Above is a close-up of my favorite block. I love how the scissors pattern is echoed a bit smaller in the patchwork fabric.
I’ve also been wanting a DayRunner for a while, but I didn’t want to just buy a pre-made one. It’s not as fun if you do things the easy way! So I bought the “guts” for a DayRunner and figured out a pattern (which I will post eventually after I do a testrun with it on the road). Of course, I used Wonderland. Here’s how it turned out.
I need to sew a button on the front yet and I need to add some binder rings and sew those in, but otherwise, I’m loving it.
