I have completed the 2 nine-patches I was working on and have decided they will be the beginnings of a moon quilt. I love working with the blues and have started accumulating some indigo fabric. One very kind and generous blogging friend even sent me some indigo dyed thread and 2 moon squares. They will definitely be included in this quilt. Here are some photos of the 2 nine-patches and I've included a piece of the brown velvet fabric used in one of the blocks. It was just a scrap that I found at the last Houston quilt show. Hoping to come home with lots of great finds this year as well. Click on photos for close-ups.

Jude's cloth to cloth class was simply fabulous and is highly recommended. She is planning another one so if you are interested, be sure to follow along for more news on her
blog.

hey this will be a very special piece when it is complete. i look forward to your progress. it was a fun class, thanks for joining in.... and say hi to Glennis when you are in Houston!
Hey Deanna - woohoo these are fabulous. I really look forward to more. I hope to take another class with jude next year. Just too busy now with studies. Gilly
thanks jude and gilly. i'm really energized about this moon quilt. i get to use all my blues.
The beginnings of a moon quilt - that´s good - "jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne", as Goethe put it - in every beginning, there´s MAGIC, ha...
these blocks are fantabulous. as exciting and inspiring as the class was I believe the after-effects, as people get progressively more involved in working their learnings into their personal style(s) will be downright mind-blowing.
thanks, acey. i'm feeling more confident with the techniques we've learned from jude and don't spend as much time trying to figure out what to do next.
lovely deanna, i like the idea of a moon quilt. indigo and brown always looks together like jeans and brown leather sandals.
love the new pop-up comments window, cheers, k.
Indigo's ... a moon quilt....sure to be beautiful.

Beautiful...but then again, your work always is. You have an eye. You have style. These two pieces are proof thereof written.
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Love the indigo moon and weaving. In the first pic. did you weave right onto the cloth? Love them. I started weaving too and it's a bit addictive already - have a great weekend - Hugs Nat
beautiful Deanna....
O Deanna, this is truly beatiful, I'm very intersted into what it will all evolve.... l love it when one thing leeds to another .... I hope you will keep posting about these.

I love the color combinations you have here .. and I love the blue too .. they are all so very beautiful. Very nice work!!!: )
How beautiful these are...so many details to love.
thank you all for visiting and your kind comments. so nice to have so much company.
These are lovely. I especially like the one with the bright orange/pink weaving in the corner squares -- and the offset diagonal one in particular.
These are great! You really took a leap in that class...like a whole
new way of seeing happened to you!
thanks, Patty. i was right on the edge and just needed that extra push.
