Monday Morning Design Wall 9/5/2011

Labor Day!  A day where instead of laboring at the office, I labor at home.  I caught up on chores these past few days so I can catch up on my multiple quilting projects.  I am hoping to pin two quilts....(hope lives eternal) and then maybe work on a few more applique blocks.   This is my new applique project, a Baltimore Album quilt done in green and red with gold and brown accents but updated as I am doing in batiks!!  The patterns will be challenging but I am really looking forward to working on them and doing a quilt from the 1850-1880's.  Love modern and brights but something keeps bringing me back to the old patterns.

Remember to check out Judy's blog and see what is on everyone else's design wall!!

    I think modern brights and traditional patterns is the best of both worlds. Your Baltimore block looks great! Hope is living eternally over here too!:)

    Another applique project!!!??? Cheeeze! I'm on vacation until the 18th (annual east coast trip) so no posting for me for a couple of weeks. I did FINISH 2 quilts last week but They've been on my wall too many times to post them again. Still. . . feels good!
