Tuscan Hills - progress II -

First of all thank you so much for your encouraging comments on my last post about the 'grown up quilt'. Well I finally chose a better name for it and called it Tuscan Hills because the soft earthy colours reminds me of Tuscany.

I followed my idea and pieced one long strip that I placed on the right quarter of the quilt leaving an expanse of negative space that will have to be jazzed up with quilting. I love that strip of print within the mass of Khaki and each of the prints is really special to me, in particular the newspaper prints I scattered in between.



I haven't made a decision in terms of quilting yet other than that it will be dense quilting either in continuous circles or some form of straight line pattern.

Can't wait to start.

Have a crafty week.

Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
