So instead I've been working on a commission for a second Knit One, Paint One quilt.

Same pattern just a slightly different colour. While I'd kept my original pattern I needed to recreate the freezer paper stencil - this took longer than I remembered with the original quilt!
Adding the colour was relatively fast. To emphasise the white 'knitted stitches' I add a layer of batting and quilt around the shapes, then trim away the batting.

I'm currently about half way with the stitching and trimming. The next stage is to add another layer of batting, the backing and finally quilt it.

Oh this so interesting - love the colour and design!
Re the series - you will notice I still haven't posted anything!!! Probably at the end of the month.
Elizabeth Barton has a book particularly about working in a series. I have it, I'm just too lazy to go get it and look at the title! But it's a great book and I keep thinking I should work through it sometime.
