Next Project

This quilt has been a long time coming. It will be for my sister. She is a lover of the movie
"Wizard of Oz"
These have sat on my shelf for a very long time as I just did not know what I wanted to do with them. Well, I took all the fabrics to my friend Elaine and just said "help".  With her help I now have a plan. BUT..
Let me warn you.
You will not see this until Christmas 2012!
Here is a peek at some of the fabrics.



I was so scared of Elmira Gulch!!!



Some fabric choices.



A panel for a pillow.



I am going to make it a double sided quilt.
One side sepia.
The other color.

I may give sneak peaks in the future.
I could sure use some luck with this one!!
Now I just need to start!

  7. Just this past weekend my 5 year old little girl watched The Wizard of Oz for the very first time, and the second, third, fourth and fifth time, too. She loves it. I can't wait to see your quilt.

  10. Ok, Janie, GOOD LUCK! Those are great panels, but nothing comes to mind for me, so it will be fun to see what your plan is...eventually! Something "twisted"?

  14. Fun! At our local movie house, they show old films up on the big screen--this week it is The Wizard of Oz. My sister and I loved this movie too; my artist mom painted a yellow brick road and emerald castle on our bedroom wall and we had poppy sheets that we used as bedspreads. Good luck!

  17. I too am a Wizard of Oz fan and bought yards and yards of the fabrics. I had the same idea of making the quilt sepia on one side and then colorful on the other side - just like the movie (Kansas is sepia and when she gets to Oz it's colorful). Looking forward to your quilt. I have downloaded every Oz quilt I have seen online, but still haven't seen one I just want to make.
