Here’s my rough sketch for a graduation quilt using a musical panel. I’m starting with the letters & numbers since they will be the guide for sizing.
Below is my first cut of fabrics. On the right side is the background fabric….it’s black with subtle colored dots, then next is a coordinated guitar print that goes with the panel. I may have to pull a few other fabrics to get enough variety for the row blocks…..we’ll have to see.
Word Play Quilts is a great resource! It is out of print now but used copies are out there although they are a bit more expensive than the original retail price. I had my book spiral bound and, boy, is it nice to have it lay flat when open.
Here’s my progress so far. Notice the extra A’s and N’s in the middle there 😂 . The six is too small so I’ll have an extra 6 as well. Not sure yet if the 2’s will be okay once finished. The letters & numbers are fun to make but I’m a bit rusty as I haven’t made any in quite a while.
I better put the petal to the metal as graduation is in May!! 😬😬
Cheers, Cherie
That looks like a fun project. Love the way you've sketched the layout. Good luck, I have no doubt it will be finished well before graduation.
ReplyDeletehave you seen background fabric with musical notes on it? it would go perfect with a music quilt. I had some a couple years ago and it worked perfectly with it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an interesting project! It will be fun to see it progress! I haven't made a music themed quilt or made letters in quite a while myself. I have a lot of music themed fabric. If you need something let me know.
ReplyDeleteWow....I can't even imagine taking this on! What a wonderful graduation gift and I look forward to seeing it finished! Such fun fabric!
