Stitches In Wool

As promised, I have some in-progress quilt peeks to share! I'm really enjoying putting this one together. It's busy, random (yet balanced), with crooked lines and casual curves. The color scheme is red, pale green, gray, black, and a dash of white. Lots of wools and suiting material thrown in with the delicately patterned cotton prints--this is definitely my style. I may end up tie-quilting this one with a deep teal colored yarn (yummy), but it's still to early to know for sure.I only have a fraction of this neat black crane fabric and I've been holding onto it for the past couple of years waiting for the right project to come along. I'm so glad to finally get to incorporate it into this quilt.
I think this tiny little bit is my favorite part of the patchwork so far. It looks like the woolen fabrics ripped apart and the minty floral is tearing through...

Overall, the portion I have completed thus far is about 36x76". I'm not sure yet how big it will be, but probably about 90x76". Looking back on my other quilt, it's amazing how different these two are! Despite their differences however, the binding I made for the previous one was the jumping off point for this current quilt. Everything is connected...

I have quite the amount of sketching to do, so I must call it a night. Hope you have a great evening/morning, whatever your time zone may be!
