New sewing room, little window edition - work in progress
So I'm STILL working on moving my sewing room into the living room, which is taking me much longer than I'd anticipated (mostly because we also decided to do a dozen or so projects around the house at the same time.)
One project I added is this! This little window used to have blinds on it but they were old, falling apart, dirty and overall horrible so I threw them out. While trying to decide what to do with all the windows in the room I realized that this lonely little window looked a lot like a 4-patch quilt block, which gave me the idea of making the window into a faux stained glass mini quilt! It faces the front porch so it's a great spot to tuck a little bit of color and personality.
I went into EQ7 and picked out some standard-ish, simple-ish blocks that I thought would go well enough together and be easily recognized as quilt blocks. (Hopefully even non-quilters will be able to tell what these are!)
I finished the faux leading last night; I couldn’t start coloring it in yet, the leading had to dry for 8 hours first. (It's stick-on strips, with liquid leading at the joints to fill in the little gaps) I’ll probably start painting tonight after work, not sure how long it’ll take me to finish it! The colors are going to coordinate with the exterior house colors - blues and browns.
