Category: Quilts in Progress

I've been playing a bit in the sewing room this week. Trying to get used to the idea of spending a lot more time in there!  I pulled out my Simple Abundance basket block project and had myself some fun.  These colors just say Spring to me, and give my spirits such a lift.  (Not […]

OMG, I have to make a switcheroo.  On a dime.  This is the sort of thing that makes life interesting. My niece is graduating from high school this June and I wanted to give her a quilt.  I had a nice pastel one in mind that was already pieced and just waiting for quilting.  Then, I […]

I can't seem to get a good picture of this to save my life.   The picture above shows a random placement of the blocks so you can get the idea.  Trust me, it is coming along, and it is going to be nice.  I still have more blocks to make in different color combinations, so […]

In the past couple of weeks I have started five new projects.

First of all, let me tell you that I love this alternate block.  I experimented this weekend and tried a couple of the suggestions that were offered by some of you dear readers.  This block came out dead on at 12 1/2 inches unfinished.  And I like the look of it. But then I started […]

I lied yesterday when I said I had a hundred flying geese to make.  More like 76, it turns out.  And they are big devils, 3 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches.  I have all my units cut out and organized and ready to go. I know I should get going on them, and sew […]

You have seen it in previous posts.  This is my Goose in the Pond block that is featured in the Miss Rosie quilt called "Toulouse" that I am working on along with Lisa and Thelma.  I only had to make nine of them for the quilt top.  Very simple components–you just can't go wrong.  Except […]
