I made some progress on my quilts this week. It is very exciting to see the progression from a pile of fabric to a quilt. Some are not to that stage so I have tempered my enthusiasum.
Lady of the Lake has her borders on. Just need to hand sew the binding down. This could be a finish for January, I could make it!
Kathy's quilt is in rows.
Beth's quilt has the blocks all made. Just need to trim up the cross blocks. Wee bit of a stall on that as my blocks are not square! There I was merrily sewing along, following the directions, and did not make a test block. Not a great idea.
My Christmas quilt. The top is done, the back is done, just need to sandwich and quilt. Cannot wait. I think this will be a Valentine's Day quilt for me.
It matches my pillows. They were a panel that I sewed up. No zipper, no flap, just two pieces of material with a whip stick closure. Probably short sighted of me but I wanted them done. Love them.
Quilted up the two remaining placemats from last summer and the bindings are on! Just some hand sewing to get these done. Love my hand sewing.
Morgan's quilt is a top. However, it is a top that is too small. It is 70 x 84. I looked on line and queens are 90 x 106 or there abouts. So I either make more blocks, they are 14 inches, or put a border on. Any ideas?
And of course I started a new project. These blocks were windmills but I really wanted hourglass. So I took out the finished blocks and started over. I love it. Probably in hind sight could have got the same effect with the placement of the blocks.
Still need to do my bee blocks for January. That looks like Sunday's project.
Linking up to
Needle and Thread and WIP Wednesday.
Beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteYour world is full of colour and such beautiful colours at that! It's fun to have many projects on the go so that we can flit from one to the other.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got your work cut out for you. I can't list all of my UFOs since I don't know where they all are. I would make more blocks. At 14 inches, they would cover more ground than adding border after border. I had to add12 inches to the quilt on the frame and it was a pain. I had run out of some of the fabrics and had to use what I could find. In the end, you really can't tell unless it's pointed out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a lot going on this week!
ReplyDeleteI am liking all that mellow orange!
ReplyDeleteSew glad to see your Lady is almost finished! I have had my eye on her! I am amazed at all your progress on your other projects, too! Love the Sunny side hourglass blocks. Those are going to look great! I would vote for adding borders to the top for Morgan. Thanks so much for joining the party at Let's Bee Social at Sew Fresh Quilts!

It's been on my list for years to make a Lady of the Lake quilt. Your quilts and projects are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love all the orange fabric you have in your quilts. Very bright and cheery for these dreary winter days.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are on a roll! As for the too small quilt, I'd go with borders any day, you need all the time you can get for your wonderful projects.
ReplyDeleteWow,you have been busy! We have similar tastes, same blog background, a love of orange and one of my WIPs is using Winters Tale fabric.
