I was hoping for my 50th Birthday last weekend to have the big 4 blocks completed on my Jubilee project. But life with my 2 kids being home and gardening has slowed my progress.
There is a lot of shadowing on this early morning photo, but it is clear to me that my new Moda muslin is not the same shade as the original blocks that I did. I've set them here on a diagonal, which helps.
You can especially see this if you look at the center. I will, however, be covering it with another princess feather, so no big deal. In fact, our foremothers in quilting often had to deal with new dye lots, so it will only add the antique quality of my quilt.
My friend, Mary sent me this funny cartoon from the New Yorker. I knew it was perfect for the Jubilee Blog Group.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Let us know how you are coming on your projects.
I like using different muslin. The subtle shade difference makes it look antique! Your quilt blocks look awesome Barb!!
