Design Wall Monday 05-02-16
Meteor Shower is back up on my design wall – again. I pulled out this UFO in 2014 and then packed it back up. Here is the one short post about it with this picture
The first thing I wanted to do was figure out exactly why it was a UFO. When I took this class with Pepper Cory we received a diagram of the quilt, templates & instructions on piecing the blocks, several other layout suggestions and a picture of her quilt top. As you can see my color selection was black, gray and lime green, but I didn’t have an overall vision of the quilt and that is why it collected dust as a UFO.
This time I realized that I should have started with a focus fabric. So after digging through my stash I decided to use this fabric. 
After sewing a few blocks and adding them to the design wall, the quilt top was looking a bit dark and unappealing.
What is wrong now? After thinking about it for a day, I realized that there needed to be more contrast between the focus fabric blocks and the drunkard’s path blocks. Back to the cutting table I went.
This is looking better. Now I think that I am on the right track. There is an added bonus to working on this quilt project this month – I will use scraps from the green fabric to make the next Lincoln block.
I am leaving for the Home Machine Quilting Show in Salt Lake City tomorrow, so Meteor Shower & the green Lincoln block will have to wait until I return.

That is such an intriguing design; I look forward to seeing where you go with it. Have fun in SLC!
