"Squared" continued

Just finished tracing on my pattern. I decided since the quilt had smaller fabric cuts and was overall on a smaller scale, to do a larger quilt pattern. I just traced my 9x9 Omnigrid in a series of overlapping squares all over the quilt top. I started to think of how I could modern-ize it even more...since this quilt has a bunch of color I was thinking of doing each square in a different color. This could help differentiate between the squares themselves and I think it might be a cute twist. I rummaged through some thread notions that used to belong to my Grandmother and found some colors that happen to match perfectly. Not sure if I'm going to have enough of the purple, I might have to go scrounging around my JoAnns for a similar color. Hopefully I'll be able to find a match because it's a beautiful thread!

Doing some research on the next apparel item I'd like to make. I know I said I wanted to do a midi skirt next, but I'm feeling rather drawn to the idea of a dress. I saw one on Ruche that I really liked. I'm thinking I'd like to make it a bit longer, and maybe add a cap or short sleeve. And possibly pockets? I'm thinking those are a definite yes, who doesn't love pockets? I certainly have a lot to think about. I might be hitting a new fabric store later this week...still want to read up on it a little more before I make the trip.
Guess I better get back to my sewing!
Au Revoir!
