pantone {purple} progress

First of all, I want to thank you all for your incredibly supportive response to my sweet as honey arrow quilt!  Work/life has taken its toll on my inbox these days so I just wanted to make sure you all were aware of how appreciative I am (as always) of your beautiful support since there's somewhat of an unforgivable lag in my response rate these days.  :(


Fortunately (for my creative sanity), I have managed to scrap together some sewing time as the 2014 Pantone Quilt Challenge (here or here) is coming to a close.  Believe it or not, I was going to give feathers a rest until I was asked to fill in for our guild programming on relatively short notice (my new niche).  So after piecing this little number as part of my demo...


I couldn't really get radiant orchid off my mind.


Or midnight-purple (my favoritealso, potentially made up—color).  I actually had (have) two other concepts for radiant-inspired quilts, but one glance at my work calendar pretty much confirmed neither had a chance of materializing before this Friday's deadline.


Still not certain this one is going to make it, but I like to think it's got a decent shot ;o)


Let the countdown begin!

  2. What is that scrumptious background fabric near the feathers of your arrow? Soooo yummy!
    In other news, your deadline-pushing sewing stresses me out sometimes. LOL I don't know how you do it! But you always seem to pull it out, so I am gonna trust that this will somehow magically materialize as well. :)

    I love where it's going and can't wait to see more of the reveal!
