Sugaridoo Bernina QAL

Have I mentioned that I joined a quilt-a-long back in November? I did. It's hosted by Irene of Sugaridoo Quilts and sponsored by Bernina. I suppose I got into it because it looked interesting and then also because my modern guild in Baton Rouge decided that it would be a great challenge since it appeared to be graphic, fresh, modern.

I didn't get started right away. No, I procrastinated until the entire QAL was about halfway through. Suddenly there were six blocks to make. Ahh, but a block is really a strip. An entire strip of about 12-14 blocks. 

You'd think I'd panic or just toss in the towel. No. No, I didn't. I just waited until a.) there were enough blocks/strips to see some headway, and b.) it became a do-or-die situation. 

Today I am completely caught up. Completely. And now I have to wait for the next block. See. There's that "I need something to do" problem.

Anyway, I chose to make my quilt using some of the indigo solids I've been collecting since I saw several antique indigo and white quilts at a show, I imagine. Wow! They looked great! 

Because I needed a third, accent color and someone at BRMQG suggested a yellowy mustard, which I happened to have plenty of, well, that's my accent. It's definitely a bold pop of color!        And there we are. I'm caught up with Irene, and you are caught up with me. So now, what about you? There are over 6,000 participants. Are you one?
