Design Wall Monday

Yes, I am participating in design wall Monday! Because I actually have a design wall now, in my sewing room.

Yesterday afternoon, I got tired of laying my stuff out on the floor, so I moved my bookshelves into the hallway (yes, I now trip over them every time I leave my sewing room) and opened a package of queen size quilt batting, and used pushpins to hold it to the wall. Lots of little tiny holes in the wall but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make in the name of creative genius.

Yes, that is my stars quilt. I have decided to make flying geese for the sashing. And next to it is my OBW quilt in progress.

And in the other room is my Stormy Path quilt, which means all my active WIP's are on display. I highly recommend this design wall thing, it makes life easier.


I now have no space to move about my sewing room, but it matters not.

Linking up to Design Wall Monday over at Patchwork Times.

  1. P.S. looking at that from the tiny little photo in my feed, it looks like it would make a cute kids wall-hanging. The white background actually looks great with the color pop. I'm pretty sure white isn't a real quilt color,it would look really sweet :)

    1. With borders, I'm hoping to finish it at about 4 ft by 4 ft, so it will either be a large wall hanging or a small throw blanket!

  2. The star blocks on your design wall are just beautiful!

  3. Congrats on your new design wall - I don't know how any quilter can work without one. I love your Stormy Path quilt - can't wait to see more of it in future DWM posts!

    1. Thank you! Stormy Path will be making periodic appearances as I am going to try to do a little on it every day.

  4. Wow! Those stars are so color-rich! And I love the idea of adding the flying geese as sashing...that is if you like making flying geese...I haven't gotten the hang of those yet....they always look like they're flying in a curved formation :)
    And that OBW? I studied the instructions for that pattern because I like the end result, but alas, it is not for me to attempt. I will just enjoy everyone's hard work from this side of my computer screen :)

    1. I'm cheating - my flying geese are paper pieced. I wouldn't have the patience otherwise!
