Category: Quilts in Progress

Despite a rather busy weekend, I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of sewing, and reconnected with my Viola project.  I do like how this is coming together, except for the fact that my red flower vases look almost identical to the pink ones.  I may have to see what lighter pinks are […]

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, […]

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 […]
