Finally! A New Quilt!

Charlene and I were playing with the iPad the other day and we came across a quilt we both fell in love with.  And I think Ann wants to join in with us.  And we don't have to purchase a single piece of fabric!  A total win for everyone!

Colors
It is the Paperweight pattern.  We have begun to collect some dark white on black fabrics for the back.  And I am searching my templates for a ruler that will do without me buying a special one just for this quilt.  I have the triangle but am still looking for one that is shaped like a kite.

Backgrounds
I may have to try my hand at making a plexiglass template using my woodworking tools.  {PattyA, have you ever done this?  Any tips?} I figure you would be the one to have done it!

I am excited to be working on new while I am still getting the UFOs out of the way.  I go back to this post which began my friendship with Landscapelady.  I feel so happy to be doing new work.  It clears my mind.  And it allows me to do what I want to do, not what I have to finish up from the past.  Look to forward!

And I have a couple of small hangings to test out for Judy.  So things should be moving right along here.
