There is so much magenta loveliness in all of its variety happening out there in Quiltville!!
Just doing a quick flip of our #quiltvillemystery and #enprovencequilt hash tags in instagram provided me with SO much happy browsing!
Magenta is a color that I love – and oh my quilters! You wear it well!
At this point I can tell you that there is no worry on not having enough magenta. We are done with it. You’ve done all with the magenta that you were meant to do for this quilt, and there are other colors that demand some attention so we will be focusing on those over the next several weeks.
The only other thing you might decide, and I never decide this until the quilt is DONE – is if you want to use magenta as your binding. And in that case, you might want to grab more while you can because binding is something I don’t figure into yardage requirements because everyone has a personal choice to make there.
We had an IMPROMPTU Quilt-Cam via Facebook Live yesterday, and it was so much fun! A lot of mystery info was also shared during Quilt-Cam, so check it out if you haven’t yet. It’s linked under the Quilt-Cam tab at the top of the blog.
How is your progress on the En Provence Mystery coming along?

What is a quilt without a sock monkey??
Where there is a will there is a way!
Caryn is having some great success by glue-basting her pieces before sewing. This was posted in a thread on our Quiltville’s Open Studio group in facebook, and if you search for glue-basting in the search bar on the page, you will find the conversation to try this method.
So much sharing, learning and friendship building is happening, and that is the BEST part of our mystery!

Quiltville Quote of the Day!
Vintage Puss in the Corner quilt shared by Kevin H.
The learning curve is long and sometimes makes a wide swing in either direction but stick with it!
This is your love, your passion don't give up on it.
Have a great Monday, everyone!

ReplyDeleteWow I just read http://www.dejongdreamhouse.com/ link up. She was using a different ruler and ended up cutting her finger. Please read this and if you have this type of ruler retire it and get the one Bonnie recommends!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI thought I would be the only inattentive cutter but I see other injuries today. Maybe we need to be reminded to keep our eyes on the blade. ;) I lost part of my left index finger and a good portion of the nail bed Saturday night and will always have a visual reminder of En Provence. We earn every scar and each has a story, this one comes from doing what I love. Thank you for giving of your talent and of your time for me.
So, yesterday, before I read this post, I already ordered another yard of the magenta because I was afraid I didn't have enough. It is strawberries/raspberries and blueberries and so specific I didn't want to use something instead. Well, this will now be my binding as I think it will be stunning on the blueberries in the rest of my quilt. Carol
ReplyDeleteI missed the Linky again! I kept going to the En Provence Main Page where you keep track of all the posts, and since it wasn't there, I kept waiting. I'll be more attentive next time. (But will you post the Linky Parties there in the future?)
ReplyDeleteA fan,
Elizabeth
