Design Wall On-the-Road

I know, I know, I swore I wasn't going to take any more trips until my "big" trip in February. But when one's  BFF asks one to spend the week sewing at her "cabin" in the mountains, one does not quibble. One packs!

Here is what I am taking to sew on this week (one of several, of course!):

 
It's the "Brick Road SAL" from SunFlower Seeds. I started it with the sew along back in April, then got caught up in quilt retreat and quilt camp and magazine sewing and test-sewing bags, and well . . . you know how it goes!


The fabrics are the gorgeous Free Spirit Designer Solids from Amy's 2013 Sugar Block Club. I'm sewing my blocks from Bonnie & Camille's "Vintage Modern," because I don't want mine to look just like Amy's! So I have these lovelies to use for my Brick Road. The background will be the ubiquitous Kona Cotton in Ash. Or maybe charcoal. But not black!

I have blog posts written and scheduled for the rest of the week, so you won't even notice I'm gone. Except I won't be answering comments until the weekend -- no internet in the mountains! Wheee!

    So bright and beautiful! I've had a quilt design in my head similar to this one but not in solids. I like the rectangular look. It will be a very long time before it gets out of my head and into reality though!!!!

    What a great quilt that's going to be, bright and happy! Just under 3 weeks and I've got a weekend away sewing by the seaside. Can't wait! Enjoy your mountain getaway!

    Great story:) Makes these characters alive. Are you thinking to make this sword little longer, as it is presented on the poster?
