What's Happening..A new project

I started a new project today because my son, Nathaniel, ordered up a new bed quilt.  I haven't been sewing much lately so when he got in touch with me to ask if I could make this quilt. "aerial" by Carolyn Friedlander. of course I could not resist.  Modern, Paper pieced, solids, CF, scrappy...yum!

I bought the pattern @ Patch, then had the paper piecing patterns photocopied, then I did this..

I pinned all the PP patterns on my design wall as they fit in the quilt, because I figured it is the only way I would be able to keep things straight and plan my colour combos. Once each block is finished I will pin it back on the wall and when they are all finished I can easily sew them into a top without getting mixed up. 

Then I sorted through some of my Kona scraps. My plan is to not buy any new fabric for this quilt.

Then I sewed up one block on my beautiful little Featherweight.  This will be fun!

Nathaniel will be home for a little visit on July 9 but I don't think I will have it finished by then!  

For the first time in ages, I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network. Why don't you link up too?  Love to see what you are working on.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get time to do some quilting today.
