Celtic Solstice Part 2!

I'd never made chevrons until now, so this was something new and fun! I haven't totally finished Part 1 yet, but am following Bonnie's advice to start the next step anyway (not that I need much encouragement to start something when I haven't finished the last project, hahaha!)

1 & 2

Here are the first few chevrons I sewed, together with a few of the Part 1 units. I like the 3D effect I'm getting from using lighter and darker colors together.

We just decided this weekend to adopt a second quilt inspector. Her name is Ophelia and she may be coming home with us soon as the 19th. Only 10 days to get ready!

I'll post a photo of her next time :)

Edited to add the Mystery Monday Link up, I forgot to do that earlier, oopsie!

  2. I love your colors and look forward to seeing how different your Celtic Solstice quilt will turn out. I was not brave enough to choose different colors.

  5. Beautiful fabrics! I'm loving how people's individual fabric and colour choices give such different looks to the same pattern.

  6. I am so excited that you are doing this since obviously I wasn't able to. :) You have a good fabric selection. I would start the next step without finishing one myself. I don't think I have done chevrons either. Sam

    1. Sam, are you thinking of starting this later? Saving the steps? I need to pick out my final fabrics for the New Year's Day quilt but have been distracted by other things lately...like the pending adoption of a new furbaby :)
