I finished the quilt top I've been working over the last month or so.
The pattern is called Nose to the Toes, by a company called Beyond the Reef. I found it very challenging, and fun.
Below is one of the 7 1/2 inch blocks. In each block there are 14 pieces. It's one of those quilts where you cut a bunch of pieces, rearrange those pieces, sew a little here and there,
do more rearranging as desired, etc., etc.
And if you are like me, you do some deconstruction as well,
until you get it how you want it.
You put 4 of these together to create a 14 inch block and then put the the fourteen inch blocks together in three rows of three to create a 42 1/2 inch quilt top.
Below is the sink room in the barn studio.
My husband did a great job with building the sink counter.
You get great views of vineyards and wineries from the windows
on the north and east sides of the barn
In the picture below you can get an idea of how long the barn is.
It is 40 feet long by 30 feet wide.
We hired an electrician who should be done upgrading the electric system this next week.
Before too long, it should be ready to go.
To show you just how fun we've come on this project, below is the picture of the sink room from the day we had the cement floor poured. Look at those old doors!
Love the quilt! And just a guess: Is the barn going to be your studio? If so, woo-hoo! No way you would run out of room with a structure that spacious! Good thing your hubby is handy... it helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. The barn is going to be my studio. I'm hoping to teach workshops in dyeing, painting, etc. there as well. The electrician finished upgrading our electric wiring and whole system Tuesday, so we are getting closer to being done.
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Jeanne! I would love to use my garage for classes, but have too much tucked away there to make a large enough space.
