Poppin' Along

Do not for a second think I forgot about Mod Pop.  I am slowly stitching along and now have 8 blocks finished!  I realize there are only 3 here...it's just that it is raining outside and this is all of the floor space I have to shoot the photo!  Stinkin' winter.


If you remember, initially I cut enough to make a baby quilt to "test" the technique before committing to a twin. I think I feel confident enough with piecing curves now.  Do not get me wrong - I unpick 1 block for every 3 or 4 I make.  Still, I get a little better each day.

I also wanted be sure I was happy with the color scheme.  What do we think now, Helen?  Are we happy?   Do I need more or less of any color?

It was slow going, but in the end I am so very happy I took on this curvy challenge.  Thank you, Leanne, for giving me a nudge and for your continual encouragement!  I just might have this done in time for Christmas!

This is looking good. You're way ahead of me, but it is comforting to know I'm not the only one still unpicking them!

It's FABULOUS!!! I love the balance of colours you've got so far - those lovely blues work really well with (and lift) the darker shades...perfection!!!
Does this mean you're definitely making the twin size? *excited*

They look so pretty lined up. I think a whole quilt of this will be so lovely.
