Hello from Rancho Palos Verdes!
I've been making progress on my 'Grey Star' improv art quilt.
I started it thinking of the AHIQ floral challenge.
Finding a blue small floral that I liked and mixing it with a few prints, shirtings and Kona cotton solids, I pieced together units experimenting with scale and color.
Deciding blue was the most important color, I used red and yellow as spice colors.
The plan was to keep it small and I stuck with that after a few disappointing run-ins with borders.
And here it is, machine quilted in the photo, in an informal grid as of last week. Then, this week, I realized that hand quilting would add lots of texture. And so I have added hand quilting and I love the texture. Here's two photos of current hand quilting.
That's the progress from the rancho!
It's almost Christmas, so wonderful. I got to hear little children sing Christmas Carols today, they were delightful.
Enjoy the holidays, I'll be by to visit.

What a fun fun quilt. It just glows with cheer. I bet it was fun to put together.
how exciting to fine a mural with the same colors! I love all the different ways we interpret these prompts.
So interesting when we start noticing the connections between our recent makes and other things that catch our attention! Your quilt really does look happy and fun.:)
