WHICH WAY IS UP?

I started this quilt sometime in 2011 and posted about it here in 2012.  http://frogpondstudio.blogspot.com/2012/10/wip-4-farmers-market.html

I called it Farmer's Market because I had a photo of an outdoor veggie/fruit stand that inspired me to choose these colors.  The block I am using here is called "Lady of the Lake", an old favorite.

I finally gave up on making 81 blocks for a bed size quilt and rearranged my thinking and came up with this.

 By adding the solid blocks here and there, I developed some arrows.  I changed the name to "Which Way Is Up" because you can turn it any direction and still have an interesting quilt piece.

I love the secondary pattern that evolves with the circles.

I am so happy to get the top done that I could not wait until I had it quilted to post this.  

The backing is ready and I hope I can get it quilted in the next couple weeks.

WIP #4 FARMER'S MARKET

Here it is October and harvest time of the year.  The leaves are starting to turn on the trees and the air is getting a little crisper here in southeast Tennessee.  My hubby and I are enjoying some nice porch weather. 

The time has come to draw another number from the WIP jar.  This month's number is

This corresponds to a collection of "Lady of the Lake" blocks in bright colors.

Of course, I want to finish the total number of blocks that I need for an original layout/setting I have in mind. I think it will take 81 blocks for the quilt.

Stay tuned for the grand unveiling on or before October 31st.  Of course there will be other projects thrown in during the month.  Some will be new ones and some others may be more unfinished projects.

Join me in finishing one of your WIPs this month, then let me know about it.
