Well, almost done. One more nine unit Bow Tie block and that is it for me. 324 three inch finished Bow Tie blocks. 1944 pieces total. I can't take it anymore. I don't know how these gals who are making a king size quilt with two inch finished Bow Tie Blocks have it in them. […]
So this is what 72 3 inch Bow Tie blocks look like. I feel like I have been making them forever already, but they are pretty cute. I am going to keep at it and see how far I can get with this quilt before I cry "Uncle". You may recall that in previous posts […]
Flip Flop. I can't decide which project I want to work on, so I am working on both! They could not be more different, but I love them both. After the day our family had Tuesday, I found immersing myself in sewing to be very therapeutic. I had the day off and spent every minute […]
Looking Glass is coming along great. Only one more row, then the borders. If I hadn't been called away on a pool play date, I know I would have finished the main body of the top yesterday. But after all, it is summer, and there are fun things to be done outside. We had such […]
Two more blocks and it's a wrap! I have so enjoyed making these blocks. Now, I am nowhere near completely finished with this quilt, but I have only two more blocks to finish. Then, lots of rearranging to get the color placement just right, then I need to cut out the scrappy setting triangles. Oh, […]
Remember these? I haven't counted them, but I have made a lot of star blocks for Barbara Brackman's Stars in a Time Warp sew along. I had them all up on my design wall, set diagonally, but took them down to make room for Steampunk. (Should have taken a picture…) Anyway, they look really good, […]
I have a feeling there won't be a lot of sewing going on until the end of the week. It was a busy weekend, with time spent in the garden as well as visiting relatives. I managed to squeeze out three more Steam Punk blocks, but that is it. I think it may be a […]
Last week I was experimenting with setting triangles for my Second Hand Clothes quilt. I wanted just the right look, nothing too dark, something that coordinated well with the fabrics used within the quilt. The differences in these photos may seem subtle, but honestly I thought my final choice was so much better than the […]
I am telling you, this quilt is so easy I believe it is making itself. No kidding, I started cutting out the fabric for this quilt around 8:30 in the morning, and this photo was taken at 4:30 that same afternoon. In between making the blocks I ran over to another property we own, supervised […]
I finally sorted out my Jacob's Ladder blocks. I was having a ridiculous time trying to get them arranged the way I wanted them. I outgrew the design wall and ended up laying out my last two rows on the floor under neath the design wall! Works for me. I was about to drive […]
