Nonchalant

 

After some very minor tinkering (removing some blocks I thought read as too dark and moving some darks and lights around so I'd have a better balance) I decided this is what I will sew together.

The quilt also has a name: Nonchalant, because this quilt is not full of itself, and not overly fussy.

So I started where I could reach, and sewed the blocks together in largish chunks.

Here are the sixteen blocks I sewed together first. These fit in the empty space in the photo above this one.

When I stopped to have dinner, I had two-thirds of the top half done.

After dinner I sewed up the last third of the top section. I have to sew the three parts together, but oh gee darn, that won't be hard at all.

I hope to get the flimsy sewn together over the weekend, but I'll be teaching on Saturday and am having some work done in my house that may start next week and will need some things moved before that can happen, so we'll see. At any rate the flimsy should be completed in short order.

Here is a closeup of a section of the quilt. The WOWs are self-explanatory - you know I love them and use them at random. The "Lights" are bright colored prints on a white background. That's all this quilt is.

The quilt is based on Julie's "Macnas" series, and you can read about them here and here.
