Designing Monday

GRRRR!!  I am frustrated.  I have been working on the quilt of the month from the Sentimental Quilter  which is to use ugly fabrics.  I found quite a few from the scrap bag I received from Homestead Hearth  and got busy making HST's.


 I needed more blocks to fill up my quilt and pulled more fabrics that I don't consider ugly from my stash.  Now I am having the darnedest time trying to find fabrics to pull it all together.  My objective was to make all the blocks different, but now I am thinking I will just make some repeats from the ugly fabrics as they are all from the same color family.  This is just a little fun quilt, so there should be no frustration.  Right?

A nice thing that happened this weekend:

As a gift for providing info on the US Cheese Championship, New  England Cheesemaking Supply Co.  sent me this mozzarella kit.  How sweet is that?!!  Milk was on sale last week for $1.68/ gallon, so I am ready to make cheese.



Tonite I am going to a demo at one of the nearby libraries called Beyond Basic Cheesemaking.  Would you believe Primitive Gatherings in right on my way?  This is going to be a great day!!! LOL

Hop over to Judy's blog to see some beautiful designs.

  2. I have wanted to try cheesemaking! Thanks for the links.

    I think Rhonda means a tone on tone fabric.

  3. I don't think any of your fabrics are ugly. Your quilt is looking great! I'm not making a quilt this month for Kathleen sew along... I used that pattern (Scrappy Triangles) for my January quilt, when she gave us the choice of any of her patterns. It was fun to make, but I don't want to make another, especially with uglies! Have fun making cheese!

  4. I agree with K.Q. ... I love all of these fabrics and don't think they're ugly, they're becoming a lovely quilt. Cheesemaking, now that's an interesting idea!

  6. Your ugly fabric blocks don't seem ugly to me -- just not bright colors. It's still looking good.
