Category: Quilts in Progress
Following me make this quilt may be like watching paint dry, but truly I have made a few more blocks and am making progress. In fact, I am loving the look of these stars so much I haven't had the heart to take them off the design wall to make room for Nantucket. Just a […]
This photo may not look too much different from the last one I posted, but I have actually made a few more blocks for my Antique Star project. Every block is such fun to make, and seeing the color combinations and the overall effect of the light blocks and dark blocks is really fun. I […]
Since I am house bound with this silly head cold, I took advantage of the down time and sat up in my sewing room for a few hours making Antique Star blocks. Doesn't it make a difference to place them on the diagonal? I do love the look of a diagonal set quilt. Observe that […]
This weekend I worked on a little of this and a little of that. I couldn't seem to figure out just what I wanted to do. I am excited to make more pineapple blocks, so I started six more. My alternate blocks for the Blogger Girls BOM are on my mind, so I worked on […]
It seems as if these baskets are multiplying. There are certainly too many to be on the design wall all together. I have to sew rows in sections, then drape them over the furniture in the studio until I can sew the sections together. That is the middle section you see there on the table […]
Well, no, it isn't finished, but I am making great progress on attaching the lattice on my Hill Country Baskets blocks. A reader commented on my last post that she could not see that fussy cutting the striped fabric for the lattice was worth all the trouble, but I could not disagree more. What would […]
900 baskets later, I have 85 that I am going to keep in the quilt. Here they are, not quite finished being arranged, but nearly. Next step is to cut out and attach the striped lattice. Thelma told me that the amount of fabric in the kit is just barely or even maybe not quite […]
Finally all the strips for my Red Pineapple quilt are cut out. Just the red ones are shown above. I made an executive decision to make this quilt 49 blocks (7 x 7) rather than 56 blocks (7 x 8). I used up every scrap of red French General fabric I own, and believe me, […]
I have to laugh, it barely fits on my design wall! I am working away at connecting my rows of Long Road Home, little by little, day by day. I have some new responsibilities that have fallen my way of late, so I am finding sewing time a bit more challenging. Don't worry, I am […]
I got the rows of Message in a Bottle all connected and got it off the design wall. I will show you a picture of that once I get the borders on. When you take a project down from your design wall, does it drive you crazy that there are a gazillion little threads […]
