I'm going to have surgery on my foot at the end of this month and won't be doing much walking for 8 weeks after as I won't be able to put any weight on that foot. So I'm making sit down plans, like applique.
I decided maybe it would be a good time to do the quilt that Esther is offering on her blog. It's gorgeous and lots of applique.
This first part I paper pieced instead of applique. That looked like it could easily be done and was. Then I appliqued the center circle on top. Now will come the tiny circles. Hmmm..... I'm not sure how I'll do those yet.
I picked my main colors, turquoise and coral/peach. I'm using as much from my stash as I can, and of course I bought a few more.
This quilt will be a challenge and I'm not sure if I'll go the whole way, but then you never know.
What a beautiful start. Well wishes for your operation Elaine, looks like you'll need plenty of hand work to keep you occupied for 8 weeks.
