Tuesday at the Table

Surprise, surprise. No recipes today. Really no food talk at all. But I do have one of my current projects to show, table-related and all . . . the first in a set of wonky cross placemats.
I'm expecting each to be just a tad different in their block arrangement, though all with the same number of 3 1/2", 6 1/2", and 9 1/2" blocks. I'm using my favorite emerald, black, and white geometric prints, along with a variety of solids, which I'll describe better farther down the line.

Quilting design is still TBD, so feel free to share your thoughts. And as I continue piecing, if you have something to link up, you can do it here!

  8. If this was mine to quilt, I think I'd be inclined to quilt straight lines. There's so much going on in the prints that lines would settle the eye a bit. Stitch lines in different directions-at angles other than those formed by the lines of the crosses. Oh! And how about quilting "strings of pearls" in the crosses? That would be a good contrast to the lines. Ooo. Now I do want to quilt this myself!
