Beginning to bulge...

Well, after a busy weekend, I have gotten this far:


Today I will finish the "bulge".  I can't wait to see what it looks like!  Can't you already see the optical illusion taking shape?

I don't usually have the patience for so many little pieces and this paper piecing is definitely a challenge.  My table is a MESS, but I don't care - I'm having a blast!



We had a beautiful weekend outside, too.  This Texas winter has been more like spring time lately.  Check out this beautiful cabbage from our garden that we cooked with a corned beef brisket this weekend!  Mmmmmmmm.  And this beautiful hibiscus bloom!  (Don't tell this beauty that it's not spring time!)




Now back to work!

    1. Barb, the bulge is 20", as for the background I haven't decided exactly what I'll do. I'm finding this a tough project.

  5. That quilt looks amazing! I have a co-worker who is from the Ukraine. I am going to see if she can translate the website for me.
