Second Beauty Quilt

I like the colors of this one, and the fact that every bit of it is from my stash, and most of it from my scrap box.  I have so much fabric, I really need to complete stuff with what I have, not buy more.  It is so hard to work in a place with the coolest, newest, most colorful collections, and not just buy everything I see.  But I am trying to get rid of stuff that I don't need, and use up stuff I have, so here is one installment.

First One Done

This is a design by Sweet Pea Machine Embroidery Designs, The Beauty Block.  It commemorates the eclipses of 2017,  memorable events, all!  For the solar eclipse, I was in an area with 94% coverage, and the sky certainly dimmed, but rather like a dusky evening.  The instructors at the Janome Institute I attended had eclipse glasses they lent us, so we all got to see pretty darn well.  There were several lunar eclipses as well, one was a blood moon, and spectacular in its own right.   With my sweet husband's and my service in the Navy, blue and gold was an obvious choice.... I do believe I like this!  I am working on a more colorful sample of this pattern that will be a wall hanging... and probably more as well.  These designs are well digitized and stitch out beautifully on my Janome 500E, I doubt not that there will be lots more to come.
