It's a Finish! Plus WW6 and Hexies

After a year of procrastinating thinking I was going to machine quilt Summer Scraps I decided to have someone else do it for me. 


Barbie Vanderfleet-Martin did a beautiful job with a subtle quilting design which blends right in. It's 46" x 46." 




I made the top last year when I was determined to empty my scrap bins. All those 1" squares were individually cut and sewed together. 



I didn't have to buy any fabrics for the back as I already had these on my shelf. 



  It's finished


I always look forward to making the next Westering Women block. This is #6. Hill and Hollow. 



Blocks 1-6 :)


I added two more rows to my tumbler quilt. I envision it to be square with a plain 6" cable-quilted border


I'm either piecing the Morris Hexies by hand or machine. This is #8. Greenwood.


#9. Red Lion


#10. Thames Path


#10. Thames Path rotated. 



 #11. Merton Mill 



Here they are. I've cut the next round of bird and flower prints and sketched out a plan for the corners. But first I need to make room on my design wall for all the pieces and that means moving EVERYTHING down, lol!

Happy Summer Quilting!

  2. Barbara, I love your Summer Scraps postage stamp quilt! (Well.. I love just about everything you do). Initially I wasn't wild about your choice of the marbley fabric for the side triangles, but now I see that it works perfrctly to set off the blocks. Excellent!

  3. What a great finsh with all those wondeful 1" squares. Sometimes you just have to pass it on to a machine quilter so you can enjoy it sooner. The tumblers are adding up and all those Morris hexies are incredible.
