Design wall blues (and grays and blacks and olives)


I fell in love with a couple Lonni Rossi prints and decided to use them as my guide when choosing the pallette for this pattern, Borealis by Aarvark Quilts. Working in grays, blacks, and olive greens is a challenge, and the paper pieced arcs are time-consuming. I thought I could get this quilt top finished in a week, but my level of frustration keeps taking me away from the project. I must say that I do love the blocks I've finished. I hope that the finished quilt is greater than the sum of its parts.

Back to work!
