Category: Quilts in Progress
As you can see I am making good progress on my Rhubarb Whirl blocks. More on that later. No, I didn't lose my mind and start making light blue pinwheels to go with it. The blue pinwheels are blocks from a project Sara started a year or so ago. A dear friend of hers is […]
I have made a few more Flowering Snowball blocks for the quilt I am making for Eva's Big Girl Bed. Aren't those blocks cool? I love the effect those wild Kaffe Fassett fabrics make. The blocks take very little time to make, maybe 15 minutes or so for each one. I sat down for an […]
I can't take credit for the clever name, my friend Thelma came up with it first. We are both working on this pattern called Metro Lattice, from Sew Kind of Wonderful, using the Quick Curve Ruler. Thelma made an executive decision to leave out the pieced lattice the pattern calls for and to set […]
I have completed 16 hoop blocks for my Metro Hoops project, using the Quick Curve Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I have to admit I earned a few more grey hairs when I started this project, but am happy to say I persevered and with the help of a smarter-than-me reader, licked the issues […]
Quick update on my progress with the flying geese–it's going well. All geese are made, and only 28 more need to be trimmed. Hopefully today I can get my little Dutchman's Puzzle blocks together. What a fun project this is: Whit, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. And just for fun….Look what […]
I am up to my eyeballs in geese. Flying Geese that is. I have eight more to make and I will be finished with construction, but as you see, my little pile needs to be trimmed. Ha! I am tempted to take them to work with me today, along with my tiny cutting mat and […]
For those of you who couldn't see my post from yesterday or leave comments, it was due to a major Typepad issue. Again. They were down all day long. Ever since they were hacked last month it has been one thing after another. I had better type this and get it posted before it goes […]
Despite an attack of Spring Fever, which is causing me to want to sit on the porch sipping iced tea all day long, I have gotten a bit of work done on my pear blocks. If you recall, I had stacks of little bitty squares and rectangles labled from A to M that were to […]
The sewing room is pretty much of a disaster right now because I am experimenting with the Kaleidoscope blocks. I have sure made a number of blocks wrong! I keep trimming off the corners that I am supposed to attach the corner squares to. I want my 12 piece blocks with the corner squares to […]
I've been happy as can be working away on my happy blocks. Debbie suggested that I rename the quilt "Maison Joyeuse", which I thought was an excellent idea. Several of you have inquired as to the size of the blocks, and they are a perfect 8 1/2 inches. Love that size block. I want […]
