This is my new (temporary) design wall.
As my regular readers know, I have moved (temporarily) to my old dining room
sewing space as my sewing room is occupied by one of my sons.
I do not mind sewing in our living area, but apparently
I became very spoiled by having had my own space where I was able to "spread out."
So ... I seem to be extending my sewing space further by branching into the adjoining living room.
I am now calling this quilt in the making
"Anything Goes With Gray"
in my head.
One of the things I liked most about my sewing room was that I was finally able to set up a temporary design wall and this was so useful that I had been making sewing room improvement plans to make a permanent design wall.
I now cannot sew without some kind of design wall.
So with the help of my hubby I made a new temporary one by putting a large piece of batting over our big entertainment wall bookcase in the living room.
Yes, there is a television behind these
I had to play catch-up on these blocks, which I am swapping with my quilty bestie,
These are my February, March and April blocks.
I shall actually be ahead for once!
I really need my design wall for these blocks ~~~>
Here are some of the other blocks.
I really have a difficult time stopping myself when my
"30 minutes a day of sewing for me time" is up
when I have these fabrics in my hands.
I have so many projects to catch up on that I have to keep to my self-imposed limit
so I can get everything accomplished.
I will get this spring quilt done.
And Spring Will Come ... soon, I am hoping.

This has become my focused
and is a big item on my
I have a new addition to my bucket list ~~~~>
A 60 Degree Triangle Quilt has been on my quilty bucket list for a long, long time
and this fun quiltalong was just the incentive to get it off my "To-Do" list
and onto my "WIP List." A small step in the right direction.

That makes a great design wall and the X&+ blocks are looking fabulous.
Pat, I love how "Anything Goes with Gray" looks so far! It feels really warm and fun : ) Glad you were able to come up with a temporary wall - I have a flannel backed tablecloth tacked up in my sewing room - easy, cheap, and can be rolled up with the fabrics inside. Definitely once you get used to having a design space for layouts, it's hard to go back!
Looking great!! I'm going to make a design wall when I get back to Cape Breton.
Love the colorful projects you are working on at your house!!!
I signed up to sew along with The Sassy Quilter, too : )
Great idea on the design wall! I really just need to hang up some batting and start using one of my blank walls haha! Love those blocks :)
Congratulations on making the best of your space to be creative. Your quilts in progress look fabulous. Creative Stitching Bliss...
I agree, you get use to a design wall. I use flannel for mine. I love you friendship blocks. Such great colors you ladies picked. You are one very busy lady. Enjoy!
I agree with you about design wall. I don't have a big one now because I sew in a attic room that has been finished into bedroom and doesn't have any straight walls higher then four feet. I have a flannel board I use. Love your blocks for your swap the colors are beautiful.
Love your "Anything Goes with Gray"
Me too!
Looks like your design wall post was a big hit in our circle! And I agree, love your Anything Goes with Gray.
