Design Wall Monday - Lemon Chiffon

I don't participate in Design Wall Monday very often cuz my design wall doesn't change frequently enough!   But I did put up some blocks from a very old project....determined to FINISH it this time.   I took a class from Sandy Bonsib years ago through our local quilt guild.  She was just starting her quilt series on color value (titles are dessert names).  She was teaching "Lemon Chiffon"...a value study on lights.  She was a good teacher but I didn't dig an entire quilt of lights, so I never finished the blocks.   I figure its time to just be done.  I can use the top as practice for the long arm machine and then it can be a baby quilt for some one.


Speaking of the long arm machine.  Tink and I were able to work together last week and she was my teacher for the day on the shops HQ Avante.   I am trying to learn the computerized part of it.   I loaded my Warm Wishes quilt and away we went.  Tink was a super duper teacher and I came away feeling much more confident.  Not ready to fly solo yet....but I feel closer to that time than ever before.

I don't usually like pastels, but I really like your little quilt. The colors remind me of a hard candy my aunt used to give us when I was growing up.

Oh, I know I must have seen that quilt before, but I don't remember it and it is SO pretty! Even being pastels, they are very bright and cheery! Is it really only baby-quilt sized? It looks bigger in the picture.

That is such a pretty quilt...I hope you finish it! It's hard to work on a quilt when it's not really your taste, but someone is going to LOVE this quilt!

I forgot about that fun quilt. You are so prolific I cant keep up. I'm glad Mrs Sours didn't make you hate class.

The pastel quilt is awesome. The colors are soft and feminine.
