Arabian Nights - a Work in Progress
 

Hi all.

Today, instead of finishing any of my other projects, I well and truly crossed over into the 'Dark Side' and admitted that there is a strong probability of terming myself as a 'quilter'.
I've been avoiding that term, as I need to focus on another craft like another hole in the head - but this project has been swimming around in my head for the past 3-4 years and finally splashed to the surface this morning.

There is NO pattern. I have images taken from a child's story book from the late 50's to early 60's to draw from. I first thumbed through this book some 4 years ago, and realised that the images would translate so nicely to stitchery and therefore a quilt. I bought the main fabric some time ago - it reminds me of sand swirling.
This is the first square stitched. This will be a colourful quilt - think of velvets and satins, jewel colours; aquamarine, golds, purples - I also plan plenty of sequins and beading.
Please join me on this journey. I'm sure to learn a lot of things along the way.

Looking forward to more :)

hey no fair! This is like reading a book in installments :)

This is one I want to follow along in your journey. Anxious to see the end result. Beth

I'm ready to go along with you on this fantastic journey. So far sew good. Keep us posted.

Looks interesting.

It's looking good, can't wait to see the next "installment".

I can not wait to see the next block!

Very nice, great job, thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day
