Project Updates

Here are some of the projects I'm working on in various stages of completion. I tend to flit from one to the other except for the hour I spend nearly every evening quilting a large quilt.

 

Tumbler is a long-term project and I continue to cut pieces and add a row every now and then. It's one of my favorites. I'm to the point where I need to dig into my stash and cut some light-colored fabrics.


I do love working with scraps and have now made seven baskets. I think I'll stop at nine.


I really enjoyed appliqueing these circles which I'm calling Marbles. I sewed the 4" blocks together yesterday. Borders are next.

 

Sweet Gum Leaf is the third block in Barbara Brackman's Westering Women series. I contemplated hand-piecing but nixed that idea real fast :)


I saw this little quilt on Pinterest and you know the rest of the story, lol! 


I couldn't wait to get started so here's a glimpse of my repro :) The top is done and ready to be machine quilted.   

 

Oh, dear! Hexies were pre-empted by circles and the 9-patch repro. I must get back to sewing these together. There are 9 rows total.   

 

I'm hoping to finish quilting Stars In A Time Warp this weekend in which case the binding is ready and waiting :)

  3. You're working on some wonderful projects. It's fun to see the progress you continue to make. That's a wonderful vintage nine patch. Can't wait to see your interpretation.
