Yesterday brought progress to my Wavelength quilt. It's now at cot quilt size and I was maybe who knows am aiming for single bed size. Soooo, 168 4.5" blocks done. Probably about 80 more to go. Hmmmm........
My original plan was to use all the colours in the Color Me Happy range but I'm second guessing myself - so who knows what this will look like when it's finished!?
You can really see why V & Co named this range what they did! It's just so damn cheerful to look at!
And in other W.I.P. news - I've received quite a few more bee blocks from QCA Bee #5! You may remember the Radiating Sparkler block I first whipped up a couple of months ago HERE? Well, they're multiplying. And I am ADORING how it's all coming together!

I'm also realising that I may or may not have a slight addiction to the use of gradient colour schemes!?!? So be it! And for all of you who asked me back when I did the first of these blocks - I will have a tutorial for you all in a month or so ;)
I had planned to pull out all my W.I.P.'S to fess up, but clearly did not have the time! I was discussing with a quilty friend the other day about the onset of my quilter's ADHD, and she made me feel much better by confessing she has 27 W.I.P.'S. I promised I wouldn't judge, and I won't - basically because that could very well be my count in a couple of years if I don't pull my finger out! I think my count is at six. But don't hold me to that.....
I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced - You can too!
Your wave length top is looking spectacular! Only 80 left? You got this ;)
ReplyDeleteso in love with this pattern and the colors of your quilt, and always impressed how you can photograph big quilts, I have rarely room to do this lol
ReplyDeleteI love your colour choices in the Wavelength top....just beautiful. I purchased the pattern, too, and now I can't wait to start one!!!! Really looking forward to seeing yours finished...
ReplyDeleteGreat WIP´s, love the happy colors
ReplyDeleteI counted up my WIPs last week - 24. Not sure whether to be shamed, or excited that I had that many quilt ideas. :D I love your version of the wavelength quilt. Very happy, but soothing at the same time. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. I could never paper piece an entire quilt - my hat's off to you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - and enormous for a paper pieced quilt. Good luck with the finish.
ReplyDeleteThe wavelength quilt is looking gorgeous! Those are beautiful blocks too!
ReplyDeleteYour Wavelength quilt is fierce! And I love your gradient stars too. Also, just to keep it real, I have at least 15 WIPs laying around. And let's not even talk about the shelf full of fabric pulls just waiting to join that group of 15!
ReplyDeleteI just love your Wavelength quilt. I'd love to make a colour gradient quilt but I think I need more experience first. Great result!
ReplyDeletegorgeous, I really love the mix of the pink and green/mint.

ReplyDeleteThe wavelength looks incredible so far! looks more amazing the bigger it gets. Love the colour scheme too.
ReplyDeleteWow the wavelength is looking amazing. Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteShhhhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have quilters ADHD. I've always had it with any craft. I remember as a kid I rarely finished any craft projects. I put them up in my wardrobe and took them out when the mood struck me. When I learnt to quilt I remember feeling a great sense of achievement and pride when I finished the quilt. I was so proud of finishing something I made!
