This project called Glory Days has been in the planning stages for what seems like forever. I sure love the classic red and blue color story. Why I don't work more with these colors is a question I am asking myself, because I sure like the crisp look. Gallery in Red and Blue by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics is the fabric collection I am using.
And yes, I am somewhat "old school". I use a notebook and write down my cutting, measurements, notes, etc. as I work. I have an IPad I purchased with the intention of modernizing my process . . . well, you can see how that is working.
Here is another look . . .
The quilt will have a center of repeating blocks and an applique border. I'll post more pictures when I get there!
