Design Floor


I wish I had wall space for a design wall in my bed/sewing room, but we have too much furniture and too many windows, so my design 'wall' is my floor.  Here's my zipper quilt progress. This week it has gone from this:


To this:


I need to decide how I'm going to hook these 3 sections together.  I still have enough solid rows that I could put a solid row without teeth in between.  Or I could take the easy way out and just use a solid piece.  I'd rather not just butt  them together because there is no way to nest all those seams together, and there would be a lot of bulk.  To see other quilters' design walls, click here http://www.patchworktimes.com/2012/06/04/design-wall-monday-10/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PatchworkTimes+%28Patchwork+Times+by+Judy+Laquidara%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

In other news, they have made progress on the porch.  We have shingles.


And steps.


Look at the detail on each step.


I feel like we picked the right guy for this job.  He is concerned with the little details that I'd never think of.

The zipper quilt looks like it would be a good stash buster (or at least a scrap bag buster)! lol. I like all the bright colors too.

Great zipper quilt--never seen anything like that. I think your idea of a solid sashing would help with all the bulk. Congrats on your porch work--the details look so good.
